You are correct in your advice for the proper useage of this product.
I can also appreciate that you have educated yourself more than the average aquarist on parasites and diseases within the hobby. I also agree that misuse of these can hurt us all.
But dont you think that there is a place for this medication in the market? I feel like there are certainly situations where these will be used properly by the aquarists. Unfortuantely there will likely be others that could misuse the product.
I wish this food had been on the market last year during the floods when I was scraping together to save a few reef aquariums that were without power for 21 days, in a building that I could not get a generator on. It was weeks of unhealthy fish after that. I still remember how sore I was carrying 10 gallons of salt water up 27 stories over and over. And buying D batteries like it was doomsday.
I agree with your stated issues, but feel like there certainly is a place in the market for this product.
On another note, I have had issues getting meds from vets in the past for aquarium use.
And on another note, I have never had issues getting fish to eat pellets. With the vast array of pellets on the market, more often than I have ever seen it in the past, most fish will eat pellets. Sometimes it is using fish that are eating pellets to teach others to eat them. These fish are usually assertive, but not aggressive eaters in the tank. Something like a tomato clown, or a blue tang, where the fish is excited to eat, can help get others eating. Aggressive eaters, such as sohal tangs, which will often chase fish from the food are not going to help in that situation. There are however some stubborn ones, like your cowfish.
