I have an older bottle of Maracide that is running low. So I went out to purchase a new bottle that was in different packaging than the previous. After comparing the labels, the new Maracide w/ biospheres does not cover as many diseases as the older bottle. It also states to use 2 cap fulls! Versus the older bottle which states to use just 10 drops.

Am I missing something here? Whats the difference in the two and why does the newer one require soo much?

There is a thread I saw at loaches.com http://aquaweb.pair.com/forums/loach/index.cgi?read=69349 talking about it. There is another claiming Mardel is ripping people off.

I don't know why they changed the formula.

By the way, Malachite Green is the same as Aniline Green, which I think is the main ingredient.

The Mardel labs site doesn't even tell you the ingredients :(
