Faran Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 You can use a LFS sold med called Fluke Tabs for worms, or if they don't have that you can crush up 1/4 of a tablet of Drontal Dog Worming tablet and mix it with a cube of thawed discus tucker and feed it to them. As for Met, it's prescription only and you'll have to hit up your local vets or LFSes to see if they can get it for you. You can also check with your discus supplier to see if they have any 'extra' for sale. I paid out of my nose through a vet (actually needed to see the fish), then the SPCA vet came over for free and sold me some for cost and I've even found it once behind-the-counter at my LFS who sold it to me for a better price than any of the previous sources. I'd hook you up but I barely have enough for another dose and two discus looking a bit dark... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
