Internal parasite

[fishtrap]

I don't have a sick fish. I'm just getting ready to stock a tank with new fish, and have a question.

I've read other threads that suggest that while in quarantine, new fish should be fed food with anti internal parasite meds. Are these foods readly available at the lfs or is it some kind of homebrew food?

If the latter, how do I make some?

There are a couple of foods available at LFS or chain pet stores that are anti-parasitic.

There are foods availiable, but I'm yet to see an effective one. I've only ever seen two types, and own both. The first, Jungle's Pepso Food, is ludacrously small, and the fish generally don't take it. The second, Gel-Tek, sounds good judging by it's active ingredients, but it doesn't work if fish don't eat it, which none of mine will.
