    Sorry about your discus.
    It's very sad when you lose your fav fish.

    Metro is sometimes difficult to get here in Australia

    You have to go to the Vet to get it.
    Sometimes the vet wont sell it to you unless he/she
    have seen the fish.

    But if anyone knows a vet that sells metro in Sydneys' South West Area Pls let me know.

    Cheers

    Mark, In Australia Metro is not allowed to be sold unless by prescription from Vet...

    Interesting how things differ from country to country isnt it?

    i went to my GP and they wouldnt prescribe it, they all told me the same thing that they would risk getting in trouble. i asked my local vet which i take my dogs and puppies to vaccinate and he gave me a bottle. I guess its who you know and if they trust you well enough.

    Redmelon,

    I might know a few places in Syd where you can get hold of metro for your fish.
