Need help getting fish meds for hillstream loach patchy dise
Posted: Thu Sep 30, 2010 2:40 am
Hi all.
I live in Australia, and the pet stores here are not allowed to sell certain meds.
I wish to keep and breed hillstream loaches, but I get such a high mortality rate with them that it has driven me to frustration. I am more likely to have them survive if they are perfectly dark skinned and large specimens, but finding them at the store that way is much harder than it sounds.
According to the article by Jim Powers, my best course of action would be to medicate with marycyn and also marycyn-two and maybe also marycyn-plus. But none of these are available in Australia.
Is anyone in the USof A prepared to help me out? I would pay via paypal into your account before you go out and buy the meds, and I would also include money to cover postage costs and some general handling expenses. I just really need these medicines to increase my chances of success with these great little fish.
Please assist a fellow loach addict.
Matt
