You could do a course of maracyn in food it's more effective In food as maracyn only treats external infection unless add to food just in case something else is going on he's how I dose maracyn in food I use a quarter of a packet of maracyn one table spoon of pellets one scoop of seachems focus 1 cap of garlic guard a few drops of water mix well feed twice a day for 7 days store any leftover medicated food in the fridge @Bjorn
