i thought about dosing my entire tank with the stuff last week when i noticed my fish started scratching on the rocks. Very stressful watching my fish constantly scratch themselves/ dart randomly.
My guys were eating well and swam actively so i opted to keep the lights off and up the heat so the tank runs at 84 constatnly. I also mix in the following medication (

so far so good - havent seen the fish scratch ONCE since they i started medicating. They have had three doses so far. The medication can either be added to the water column or added to food. I am going to keep medicating them for another week then get some UV hooked up on very slow flow to see if can kill the parasites in the water column.
