Medicated food for clowns?

[bennyinca]

Kelly suggested that I try "jungle anti parasitic" food for deworming clownfish, since they are still in QT.

Has anyone tried this, or can recommend a place to get from?

Thanks

Petco has it. I tried it with mine, but they didn't pay any attention to it. I think the dosage is three times a day for three days and you cannot feed them anything besides it. I tried Maracyn 2 and it did the job after two dosage of five days each. Only drayback is that it's expensive, compared to the jungle anti-parasites is under $4.

Thanks, I'll check out Petco today

I didn't know maracyn2 works on worms?

I had bought Maracyn, and in their pamphlet they list symptoms and which one to use. They list Maracyn II for internal parasites. Also Dr Foster and Smith have it listed in the internal parasite section. It worked for me, I had tried clout and another generic brand, they didn't do the job. After the first dose they still had the stringy feces, so I did a 50% water change and tried it again. By the fourth day their feces was getting color and their stomach wasn't getting bloated any more.
