I have used the tablets since then and have not had a problem, after the fish have been in the treated water for 24 hours I move them through a series of cattle tanks before the ponds.
I can't remember the brand name of the tablets but they come in a box with little foil packages like medication would. The box has a picture of some kind of tropical fish on it. Each tablet treats 10 gallons and you can mix the algae and parasite killer tablets without hurting the fish.

Iv treated all kinds of fish. All kinds of sunfish to Redfin pickerel and Gar and redeye bass. Havnt tried it with any cats/bull heads or trout though. But I wouldn't foresee any problems.


You've stocked gar? I've always thought they were a very cool fish, especially the big alligator gar, but hadn't heard about stocking them in a pond. Did you have a problem with too many stunted bass and wanted a predator?
