For some reason I do not think it can be used for fish.

Silly me I didn't think to check so fed my fish the horse/cattle based product...

I fed them it at 1/3 the dosage for 3 days, then fed them full strength for 3 days.

None died ....

The dose I used was 10 mls of panacur / 100 gm food. The horse stuff only contains 1 gm panacur per 10 mls of drench so there is 9 gms of something else in it. Probably shouldn't have done it but when ya got no other sources for meds ya try anything...

Didn't seem to hurt them...

Hector,
Don't do it you won't be happy with the results , that 9 grams of extra stuff , will play havoc on your fish.
