Jungle Anti-Bacterial Medicated Food

[cheizy]

Any one ever use this before?
(active ingredients Sodium sulfathiazole, Nitrofurazone)

1) Does it affect your biofilter like a normal antibiotic would?
2) Anyone who ever used it, effectiveness? (comments?)

I've searched around the forum, and some say that their fish would'nt eat this, but I don't see that as a problem for me, I have goldfish that would eat ANYTHING they can fit their mouths into.

Elaborate please

Sorry, I can't help.....my fish wouldn't eat it. A goldfish, however. should eat it no problem.

I have not used the anti-bacterial food but i have used the antibiotic food made by jungle. I imagine their palatability would be similar. It did not affect my biofilter at all, but the fish didn't eat it unless I mixed it with garlic, and as I was feeding small fish, I had to crush the pellets to a powder to feed. I thought it worked well though. Good luck.

we used the anti-parasite kind, and our fish definitely were not thrilled. eventually they were hungry enough to eat it though.
my goldfish, however, have never had any trouble eating anything. i think you'll be fine.

I soak the meds in thawed frozen food.
I usually crush the pellets mix, soak then feed.
the best delivery method is if they ingest the food.
however, meds can be added to the water . the delivery method in this case9(added to water) is just not as effective.

I've used them with good results. I had to crush them into smaller pieces but that shouldn't be a problem for you. They didn't have any noticable affect on my biofilter.

thanks everyone for quick replies will use this when the need comes, a lot better than treating the whole tank w/ meds because I don't have a qt tank, and better for the biofilter :headbang2:

I just used it to try to combat the random dropsy I was getting. Fish would just blow up like pineapples with no rhyme or reason to it. Since I've fed the Jungle anti-bacterial food, I have not had another fish with this problem. I'm sold on it's effectiveness and would recommend it highly. You MUST feed it as the ONLY food for at least 5 days for it to be effective.

Will Do Nolapete, thanks !

I've used it, and as mentioned some fish will eat it others wont. Some might be tricked into eating it (hadn't thought of trying that myself). It did not harm my biofilter.
