my sap has ip and i got some octozin of the inter net as it said it would treat it,but does any 1 no if this is any good.

What is in it?

It is always helpful to post where you are located, in your profile.

i live in england.
it just says that it contains 8.5% dimetridazole, flagellated protozoa treatment of sleeping sickness, hole-in-the-head, malawi bloat, seawater angel fish disease and clown fish disease, marine whitespot, spironucleus, crypobia, bodomonas, trypanoplasma and trypanonosoma.

Sounds like it should work. Go ahead & soak his food in it. If he dislikes the taste, try also soaking in garlic.

I read in a an old fish fourm that this has the same effect and action as metronadzole.

Sounds like it's from that family of treatments. Merondazole is still a useful med, and flubendazole(if you can get it to stay in the water column) can work wonders. Definitely give it a try.

pufferpunk,it only says on the bottle to dissolve the tablets in a small amount of aquarium water then slowly poor into the tank.
do i need to put it on his food or is what the bottle say enough,lots of fish eat the same food as the sap.

I'd soak the food while the tablets dissolve, then add the stuff to the tank as well.
