Gel-Tek Ultra Cure PX

[White Worm]

I dont see it listed but I got mine at Docter Fosters and Smith. It does work. I would highly recommend it. I have experienced excellent results but I remove the fish from the tank and manually feed the drops.

WW, the good doctors were out of stock too!

Do you force feed the drops? Is that what you mean by manually feeding? The one Discus I needed them for is the one and only that actually loves to eat the drops! I don't really need the med now but I like to keep it on hand, and the old bottle that I have doesn't seem right anymore so figured I'd get a fresh bottle. Didn't think it'd be so hard to find.

Yep, literally hold the fish in a washcloth face up and drop the med right in the mouth when they go to take a breathe. Not too hard since the bottle tip is pointed like an eye dropper. None of mine would eat it in the tank. I think I did 5 drops twice a day for three days. Wait for it to settle in and then return fish to tank. I've also soaked bits in it and then everyone gets some if I see any white waste.

Thanks Trebor. My local Pet Supplies Plus had it on the shelf too, and it had an expiration date on the bottle. It was way past its expiration date.

Thanks, WW. That's a good idea dropping the drops in the mouth! That would be a good way to administer the other types of drops too, the antibiotics. I've soaked bits in it too, and even freeze dried blood worms which worked well.

Just got an email from http://www.strictlypetsupplies.com telling me that they have refunded my payment for the Ultra Cure PX. They don't have it and they said in their email that its being discontinued!

This is very disappointing!

Good thing I ordered 4 bottles when I did.

WW, it sure is a good thing...

It's official, I called AP this morning and was told that the Ultra Cure PX is discontinued.

Go to amazon.com, I just ordered 3 bottles, and I already got a shipping confirmation.
Good luck,

ps- by the way, did they tell you why it was being discontinued?

[poconogal]

Seems there was recently a big merger of several companies, both aquarium and non-aquarium products and the customer service rep wasn't sure why. She was an employee of the main company taking over the other companies, so...

Thanks Julie for the tip!
