Rosco is this a Typo or is this your experience
Prazi is a must to keep on hand.
Aquariums salt is also go to keep on hand.

I think Rossco is asking if there are any other meds besides Metro that work for hex.

In my opinion Rossco. Metro is the best choice.

Sterazin in Meth Blua/Malc green and another Benzalkonium type chemical. oops did I give away one of waterlife's secret formulas??

By the way with any of waterlife's medications please stick to the required dosages or you will find that you will cause skin erosion on most sepcies of fish, and when it says to use half does on tetra type fish please do even if you 'think' otherwise, even when they are with discus. Unfortunately the fish that most prone to diseases such as whitespot, are also the ,most sensitive to medications that treat it.
PS: If initial treatment doesn't work you could try the second dose at 70%, but no more, of the usual dose however if the tetras adversely react in any way please hold of treatment for an extra day and then continue to treat at half dose. Sorry have waffled on about tetras a little here
