How effective is medicating using food ?

[flamenco-t]

If I was to inject medicine through a nightcrawler and feed it to the fish, would that be more DIRECT and EFFECTIVE as oppose to treating the entire tank ?

How would you know how much to dose ?

For the sake of simple argument, let's say we're talking about prazipro and panacur ..

since rays dont swallow the worm whole when they ray bites it releases the meds to the water column...so the extreme pain in the arse that it was injecting the worm was a waste of time

It depends on the drug. Panacure needs to be dose orally. For prazi it depends on what you are trying to treat, If you're after flukes you should do a bath, if you want to hit tapeworms you'd do oral.

I have once tried this method with good results with a certain type of parasite medication.
