You can....

I would puree some shrimp mix and thaw into a nice gel like liquid before feeding. Add your vitamins/hufas/meds/etc. while you are at it and use the syrup syringes they give for kids at the pharmacy.

sweet! thanks ek... do i use raw shrimp? then i can add garlic n stuff... if i added metro, how do i dose it? and where can i get just metro?

[eklikewhoa]

Just about everyone carries seachem metrondizole in the small vial.

As for dosage I would probably make about 1/4-1/2lb worth of food and add enough to dose your tank volume.

Or like 50-100mg per day feeding amount.

Just a guesstimation compared to volume dosing compared with human oral doses.
