I was going to mix it with food not feed them the meds directly. If not general cure can i get prazi pro and metroplex and feed them at different schedules while dosing with copper?You can't just feed General Cure to fish, you need to calculate the dosage first. Also, GC contains metronidazole and praziquantel. Those two drugs are dosed orally on different schedules, so you can't really feed them in the same diet anyway. Here is an article I wrote on medicated food:

So putting metro and prazi in the water will treat more parasites then if given orally?Correct, you can't really mix GC in food, even if you calculate the dose because metro is dosed every third day and prazi is dosed every 8 or 9 days.
I would not dose oral metro, oral prazi and copper all at once unless you know that you have three concurrent issues, as the stress combines from all three treatments at once. Remember that oral prazi is only effective against tapeworms, it won't work from external flukes, Prazipro is better. Oral metronidazole really only treats internal flagellates.

It’s complicated. For external parasites, yes - in the water as a bath, always. For internal parasites, also yes in the water, unless you calculate the dose properly, then oral is better.So putting metro and prazi in the water will treat more parasites then if given orally?
