Wouldn't a simple soaking in salt water until the cysts had exploded be a simpler cure for this problem? Then you can rinse them in fresh water and feed them off that way.

Also, I've never heard that this parasite is not ichthies specific.

Although I must agree with Greg. If you've got feeder goldfish that are not 100% toss em and find a new supplier. If I got sickly mice I'd find a new mouse guy or be sure that his stock was healthy before I bought before I bought from him again.

I have one huge horned frog who eats a large mouse on average once a week. Fish are a pain in the butt to feed off, too slippery.
