The stringy poo can also be a sign of constipation due to over feeding. And as far as making food, I'm not sure about those chemicals in particular, but I've done mine in two ways, one being I soaked my NLS in a water dish with medicine right before feeding, or I've slightly dried out beef heart in a dehydrator, then soaked in meds and re frozen. I'd say the before art must have been an acquired taste, as some fish turn away from it.
