Is this Alright

So I finally found some medicated fish food for internal parasites to treat my gourami. However she wont eat them if I just throw them in, so I crush them up and then soak the bits in water for a bit to soften them up. She will eat them then when I roll up the bits in alittle ball in my hand and feed them to her. Is this alright to do?

It's 100% better than her not eating it.

Hopefully the problem is internal parasites and the medicated food helps. Best of luck to you, and I hope your gourami makes it through.

Add as little water as possible. You don't want the meds to be in the wtar instead of the food. Will it eat the crushed food without soaking it first? I have my medicated food in a pepper grinder.

I too, tried jungle lab's pellets with my gourami, but my fish (none of them) would eat it! So then I used Gel-tek Ultra Cure rX from Aquarium Products, and you can use that with your normal food. They ate like normal, and in fact would try to eat the gel itself. So if they still wont eat it, then try that (it totally got rid of the parasites too).

Like I said shell eat it if its been crushed and soaked in water to soften it up otherwise its a catch and spit for her.
