serenitynow Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 I got mine from the vet. I rang and spoke with him, told him what was wrong with the fish answered some questions about the fish in general, recommended dosage and treatment duration, what bloat was, what I thought may have been underlying factors - actually I just crapped on. He was pretty up front and told me he knew nothing about fish but seemed pretty content that I knew what I was talking about (little did he know) Hint - get double or even triple amount needed. Silly me only got enough Metro for this episode of bloat :urgh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HereFishieFishie Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 You can try ringing around a couple of lfs, one might have some. Or ring around some vets & see how you go. I did that years ago with discus. Just described what the book said were signs of disease & what the cure was. Took book with me to show, fish to sick to move.

tutters187 Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Clout tablets can also be used for hole in the head - but Bill Smith told me years ago that clean water is the key to fixing it. If you want to source some clout tabs PM Aiden/hookedonfish. Metro and clout tabs do have a use by tho as do all drugs. Cheers Stace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
