Several Practical Ways to Improve the Effectiveness of Fish Medications

1. Improve the binder. The binder must be strongly adhesive, otherwise the medication is easily lost in the water. Standard @#@245@#@ flour is a good binder material. For swallowing fish, it is best to make pellet medicated bait or ball-shaped medicated bait.

2. Add a feeding attractant. Fish have a sensitive sense of smell; even if 1 gram of alanine is dissolved in 1000 tons of water, fish can still detect it. For example, grinding the strongly aromatic Chinese herbs star anise and Angelica dahurica into fine powder as a feeding attractant, mixing it into fish medication at a ratio of 10%-20%, or adding strongly aromatic soybean flour, wheat flour, etc. after roasting, all have obvious feeding-attractant effects.

3. Use a medication carrier. First dissolve the fish medication in a little water, then evenly splash it onto the bait to feed the fish; you can also soak rice grains in fish medication and then feed the fish; you can also inject the fish medication liquid into the @#@254@#@ body and then feed the fish, and the therapeutic effects are all quite ideal.

4. Combine Chinese and Western medicines. Mixing Chinese herbs into certain Western medicines can both improve the therapeutic effect and reduce costs. For example, grinding rhubarb, Scutellaria baicalensis, Phellodendron amurense, Andrographis paniculata, Polygonum hydropiper, and Euphorbia humifusa into powder and mixing them into Western medicines such as sulfonamides and furans can increase the effect several times to several dozen times compared with using Chinese herbs alone.
