Hi, I just want to clear this up.

I just ordered micro pellets from Hikari, I'll try these with my still pretty small guppies and ordered NT Labs for worms.

Since the flubendanzole will kill my shrimps... Does it matter for them if they eat a medicated pellet? Or it doesn't matter if it's a medicated pellet or if it's in water?

I'm only asking this cause not sure if every guppy will eat the pellets or miss them.. I can't move my shrimps anywhere, I just don't have anywhere to put them in.

I've been seeing whitish stringy ish poo from my guppies, and I'm just so paranoid. I want to medicate them just in case. I'm not letting this tank make me quit once and for all.
 
Well, I'm not sure about your shrimp's safety. Even if the guppies eat all the treated food, might they poo out some of the drug? I'm really not sure how it might work. Can you just put some shrimp in a largish mixing bowl or big jar while this treatment goes on? With an airstone maybe? I wish I had better advice.
