I like to feed dewormers in food. Its more efficient. I mix them with home made recipes or gel diets to get more palatability, as they are often quite bitter. Its much more cost effective if you can deliver it internally.

I'm just curious how do you know that........I also prefer the oral route when possible.

the best is probably homemade beefheart or seafood mix but angelsplus has 5 or 6 different medicated flakes. The problem with medicated flakes is that the medicine leaches out almost right away so you have to feed small amounts at a time and make sure the fish are eating it. That of course assumes the fish are actually eating. I prefer dosing the water myself.

I like the Angelplus medicated flake food.....Metro, Flubendazole and kana medicated flake.
