Try mixing it with some garlic.
 
Alright what i did last time was cut a clove in small pieces and get a small amount of tank water and let the garlic and food soak in a mixture of the 3 will that work?
Can crush or grind it up too. Should work as well.
 
I’m back, The geo just started eating the Hex shield today. He took one pellet and it took him about 30 seconds to finish it and it looked like a lot came out of his gills? Is that normal ? Also how long should I feed him hex shield as I won’t know whether he improves or not since he still acts completely normal and eats normal food normally? Should I just feed hex for a few days and go back to normal pellets after ?
 
Nls recommends twice a day for 3 days. Known others members to keep feeding till the poop starts look a bit normal.

Ok so I’ve fed for a few days and this morning it’s poop was green? Can I go back to feeding normal food?

I’d say yes. Long as not white and stringy.

Sounds good. Although the reason I started reading hex shield was for HITH i’ve never actually seen it ever with white stringy poop and the holes are still there and getting worse from the looks of it so I don’t know what to do
