I've found very few fish (that were already eating prepared frozen) that would not eat med soaked prepared frozen food.

If they're not sick. Once they get sick that's a different story. Most fish don't like API GC unless they're just pigs.

I treat prophylactically for the most part covering all of the common things. So I feed med soaked food for 2 weeks on all new fish and usually start the day I receive or within a couple days.

I do the same when I get new fish as soon as I can get them eating. After I saw all the crap in one fish under the microscope...I'll never not treat internally even if the fish looks healthy.

Yes. I agree. It's a must!

We do the same. Too much going around not to. Sad state of affairs, I don't like it but my fish are MUCH happier now and we lose far fewer.
