Well, they say feed no more than twice per day, and for a certain number of days in a row. Probably most fish will get more med than necessary I'd think, but still not at a toxic level. For example, both of these meds in humans aren't really toxic unless the dose is many times higher than the therapeutic dose.

I've been mixing my own chloroquine into food using agar and fish food mix, but definitely like the idea of premixed. I'll be looking for it today! My hippo has ich for the first time :-(

Just picked mine up from Golds and started feeding. I turned off my pumps and fed carefully. Will have to see what kind of results we get after the third day of feeding.
