It is good as i have just treated my fish with this and it works :) like myself could not see any signs apart from the flicking and rubbing so was told to try the Esha 2000 and glad i did. There is another good med that is good if you can't see signs of illness is waterlife sterazin just order...

Thank's Yes the LFS were feeding them on tropical flakes? so when i got him i started using them but by the second day he stoped eating them, but on the day i got the fish i bought some frozen shrimp and eats them will no problems but can't keep giveing him the shrimp. John
