Using vita-chem?

I bought some and got it in the mail today, I was wondering how well it works? How often do you all use it for your fish?

I have dosed all of my tanks today.

LOL,
Shawnie, the other day, Rick was trying to give Spike a Flea pill. I said,
"just put it in a little piece of cheese.'

he says, "oh its not that hard, its just a little pill"

well after Spike spit it out 3 times, he went and put it in a little piece of cheese... and goes..."oh yeah, that's MUCH easier!"

Speaking of fleas...Did you know if you soak Spikes food in the garlic juice you won't need frontline?

frontline doesn't work on Spike, we've tried everything, and still having a huge issue. those pills work (can't remember the name) the fleas jump off, but one trip to the park and he's full again

garlic? hmmmm, i'm not too fond of garlic farts
