I have been treating my two F8s with prazipro because it was suggested that they may have IPs. I was told that treating by soaking their food would be best since they don't suck in water like saltwater fish, so thats what I've been doing.

With treating the tank I know you have to take all of the carbon out of the tank so the medicine stays in; but if I'm treating by soaking their food do I still have to keep all of the carbon out?

And how often should I treat their food if I'm feeding every day? It says every 3-5 days for tank treatment on the bottle, so would it be the same for soaking food?

Thanks in advance.

Anyone?

Feed the treated food once per day...no need to remove carbon since they're swallowing the meds...3-5 days treament (3 as an IP preventative, but I'd do 5 if your really think they have IPs).
