in artificial rearing, which "laxative drugs" and "enzymes" are used for digestive problem of fry?
Are cassia senna-based drugs might be useful?
Are the Drugs containing pancreatin, amylase, lipase and protease enzymes might be useful?
is metamucil for human use or only from the vet?
where is it being sold.
thanks
Yes, it is for human use and can generally be bought at any local drug store.

thnks for the useful link.
unfortunately in spore, cannot find in any pharmacy, eveything except metamucil, and the reason i ask if it is actually for human consumption ( haven't search the vets in spore though, my last resort, if i really need it).
seems to be available in every country from your link though.
for fry feeding, can we live without it?
There are couple of things you can use,
1. Salt
2. Agaragar
3. Metamucil(psyllium fiber)
4. Knox gelatin, not a laxative but a binder for the yolk.
most of the problems related to artifically rearing is during feeding, the hobbyist simply
doesn't know how much to feed yet. Different strains require different amount of food,
thats a double blindside.
