    @Uncle millie

    That Waterlife product is not very effective.
    I have used it in the past, and it didn't cure the problem

    If you are after Metro, try a pharmacy.
    Some may give it to you if explain why you need it. Others may want a prescription from a vet.

    @Uncle millie - Try to speak to your vet to see if they will provide some metronidazole for you to use. Just explain that it's for your fish and you take full responsibility for the results. They will say you can only get it if they see the patient... offer to take the fish in and ask if they think that will help? ;-)

    Alternatively, I would be able to recommend and supply the Seachem MetroPlex product if we were allowed to distribute it (being an online retailer we are not). Perhaps try some of the larger pet stores which sell Seachem products and ask for Seachem MetroPlex.

    PS. Sorry to have to report on quality of the specimen but I guess it has to be said before you do proceed. :)
