Do both of these medicines work even if the fish is NOT eating?

Thanks

It will still work because salt water fish drink.

MaracynII states it will work on fish that dont eat, to me that means its absorbed - furan II does not say this.

shotgun for a quarantine

edit: sorry, for the short reply - on a cell phone.
We have lost 3 fish (2 clowns - midas blenny)in the past month,they were in our DT for a few months before they would stop eating an waste away. by the time symptoms were seen it was to late, they simply would NOT eat. These guys had NO treatment while in qt. we are looking for a quarantine protocol that will treat every new fish as if they are sick whether they show signs or not in hopes to prevent this from happening again. (such as lowering SG to eliminate ich)
We are trying to understand how certain medicines work so we can design this type of QT.

Thanks
