I would not. It is absorbed and therefore administered at 1 teaspoon per 20 gallons.Can you feed general cure and dose in the water at the same time?
Will you get rid of more parasites by feeding general cure or dosing it in the water?I would not. It is absorbed and therefore administered at 1 teaspoon per 20 gallons.
Safe to feed is Seachem metro but must be precise as it is .5gm in weight almost impossible to measure- VERY tiny amount
As with copper, prazi and antibiotics- treatment externally is very effectiveWill you get rid of more parasites by feeding general cure or dosing it in the water?
You really cannot feed general cure at all, that is an old idea that doesn’t have good science behind it - the two drugs in GC have two different oral doses, so it can never work.Can you feed general cure and dose in the water at the same time?
I’m quarantining some clownfish.As with copper, prazi and antibiotics- treatment externally is very effective
What are you treating for?
personally and extremely safe, I would use either Ruby Rally Pro or PraziProI’m quarantining some clownfish.
But what about parasites you can only treat with Metronidazole?personally and extremely safe, I would use either Ruby Rally Pro or PraziPro
Metro can be added to food but as I mentioned - The challenge is the tiny amount at 0.5gm weight which is tricky. The reason for metro is with food makes it is safe for many inverts present BUT metro although claimed to treat Cryptocaryon, Hexamita, and Ich. . . . Is effective mainly for marine ich and some internal issues. You say only treat- there are a few treatments- not just Metronidazole.But what about parasites you can only treat with Metronidazole?
Oral metro is effective against internal protozoans at 0.5% by weight in food. It doesn’t treat external protozoans well when dosed orally. You need to use metroplex, not general cure.But what about parasites you can only treat with Metronidazole?
Will dosing metroplex? the water treat both internal and external parasites?Oral metro is effective against internal protozoans at 0.5% by weight in food. It doesn’t treat external protozoans well when dosed orally. You need to use metroplex, not general cure.

It treats some protozoans, both external and internal - marine fish drink seawater and so ingest a metered amount that way. However, except for Hexamita and Spironucleous, there are better drugs to use than metronidazole.Will dosing metroplex? the water treat both internal and external parasites?
so what is the best medication i should use to treat the most parasites when quarantining fish besides copper?It treats some protozoans, both external and internal - marine fish drink seawater and so ingest a metered amount that way.

Chloroquine, but coppersafe is safer and more effective except on Brooklynella.so what is the best medication i should use to treat the most parasites when quarantining fish besides copper?
I thought copper only treats external parasites, I also want to treat internal parasites?Chloroquine, but coppersafe is safer and more effective except on Brooklynella.

Right, copper only treats external protozoan parasites and those account for the vast majority of issues with marine fish.I thought copper only treats external parasites, I also want to treat internal parasites?
