What fish are safe to feed with?

All guppies need a pump. It improves their life a lot more It pretty much just aerates the water, keeping the water breathable for them. That is what I was told.

Well it turns out they are mosquito fish and I'm keeping them outside in a homemade pond made from a kiddy pool. One of them already gave birth to fry. What medication should I treat the parent fish with? I caught these fish out of a local ditch, likewise I caught these ribbon snakes locally as well so they were probably already exposed to whatever it around here.


EDIT: I would also like to note that while setting this all up I received about 100 mosquito bites and am rubbing anti-itch cream all over me like sun-tan lotion. Those mosquito fish are going to get fat fast.

You could probably treat the parents in a quarantine tank using a mild fish medication and aquarium salt. Email the company for details on the meds. I know that both pimafix and melafix are safe for use afterwards as long as the fish have time to work it out of their systems. After your fish have finished the "treatment" throw them in a tank of some sort. Fill it up with plants and you should have a baby factory!
