Medicated food

[Kimberleyc]

HI all. I'm located in the UK where its very difficult to get hold of fish antibiotics. I do however have some doxycycline capsules and wondered if anyone has a recipe to make medicated food..many thanks

Nothing I have done myself, perhaps this will give you some ideas:

12.7. Making Medicated Fish Food for the Aquarium

In order to effectively treat internal fish diseases one MUST put the medication into the food.

Do you know what you are treating? Have you eliminated parasitic problems; water quality problems?

@Mmathis. Hi, I'm not currently treating anything, I was just asking for reference as we can't get fish antibiotics in uk and felt that a recipe for antibiotic food would be a useful thing to have

We used to be able to buy medicated food off the shelf here - haven't needed it in years, but I've heard it's no longer sold in the states either.
