Question
Will medicated food pollute the tank and change the chemistry of it like regular medicine that you add to the tank does?

Answer
Hi Linda,
Medicated fish food is a safe and effective way to deliver medication to fish. The medicated food will not pollute the water or alter the chemistry. One advantage of using medicated fish food is that it does not contaminate the aquatic environment, unlike bath treatments.
