i put some of this in my tank for the CL, oscars and aros are eating it.

do you guys think they will be okay eating it? I want to keep feeding it because the aro are biting on these pellets, but not others that i have offered

You shouldn´t be feeding this long term otherwise the intestinal immune system will rely on the antibiotics and become less active. When you do have a problem then other medications may not be any where near as effective as they should be. Try mixing garlic juice (enhances flavour) in with some other brand of pellets to get the fish to change over

Weird , my fish ... Even the oscars took one bite and spit that crap out with a quickness. I use a lot of garlic additive from seachem instead and it really entices them to eat it and is supposedly helpful against a broad range of parasites etc..

im gonna have to try that, my little oscar stopped eating pellets and waits for the bloodworms now.
 
where do you guys get the garlic additive ?
 
Dog food additive section in pet stores as a powder or crush a garlic clove. The powder needs to be bound to the pellets. you can use fish oil for this purpose (also available in the dog food additive section).
