Medicated foods would be great, EXCEPT they are almost always done incorrectly. Yesterday, R2R posted an article I wrote on the topic. It is a PDF download on the right side of this page:

Proper Dosing of Medicated Foods

This article offers information about developing medicated foods for aquarium fish

Great article! I will give it a shot. Little more involved that sprinkling in some Focus. Thanks for teaching us!

Not lick enough to have any fresh macro at the moment. What I was referring to was dehydrated seaweeds.

I don't know about fish diseases or issues, my fish that need veggies get fresh macro all the time, they do get nori every day or so also, look at vitamin supplements.

Do you grow your own fresh macro or do you have a local spot you can buy it?

Whoa! That showed up in 24 hours? I’d call it an emergency. Looks like two lesions; a deeper one beneath the pectoral fin and then that shallow but larger one further back. The color just seems unfamiliar to me, I’m at a loss to say what that is. The one under the pectoral could be an injury, but the plaque-like one, I have no idea. Is the fish breathing normally and eating?

Omg last week a got this on my blue tang too in my qt but my emperor angel was fine. I did a 60% water change and dipped it in Paraguard for 2 hours and everything went better in 2 days. I’m never buying new fish that just arrived anymore haha such a hassle. I literally had the same thing happen and the tang was eating too.
