Where can I get metronidazole in AU?

well if that fails, does Protozin do the job against hexamita? I can
get some of that mail order in Aust for reasonable price. Possible
that the big fish shop will have it too. I'm sure it's not as good...

No - Metronidazole is the drug of choice for the disease... Well, if
you can't find it at the petstore, you can always use Fenbenzadole. It
is a dewormer for livestock (sheep and cattle). You can buy it in
livestock or feed stores. An overdose can kill livestock, so watch what
your doing with it. Treatment and dose = 1/4 teaspoon per 20 gals.
Treat tank day 1, day 2 do a 50% water change, day 3 do another 50%
water change and retreat the tank. Repeat for 2 to 3 weeks. May be a
little hard to mix in the tank - pre-mix it in a jar so you can shake
real good, then pour into your tank. You do know, you will have to
treat *both* fish, don't you. Otherwise they will just reinfect each
other............ Frank
