Selcon is a mixture of essential fatty acids and some vitamins thrown in for good measure. It is often used to "coat" adult brine shrimp (they ingest it as well) as a way of getting more nutrition into fish as adult brine shrimp aren't very nutritious on their own (kind of like popcorn versus a granola bar). If you coat the food you are feeding to fish, with selcon, it is a good way of helping to boost their immune system in order to fight off any infection they might have as well as promote faster healing.

Kent Zoe works much the same way although it doesn't contain the fatty acids.
