Has anyone used this with any luck? Does anyone recommend it?

I believe my GSP may have a parasite. I feed him well but he seems rather skinny and his tummy goes flat pretty quickly after being huge from eating. He also will randomly get lethargic, have spasms or act disoriented. A few minutes later, he'll be fine. From what I've read, odd behavior can be due to an IP.

I've read about soaking freeze dried food in Pimafix but i'm a bit weary about actually introducing something into the water. I'd rather it be inside the food. Any suggestions?

Pimafix is for fungus, not parasites. What form is that fish food in? If he eats it, then it should work.

I've only ever had luck getting cichlids and goldfish to eat this food - it smells like the active chemical medications and fish that aren't keen to eat anything don't seem to touch it. That said, it works well on fish that do eat it.

I agree with Nick, very few species will eat that food, it must taste awful.

what would you guys suggest?
