Ken's got it the cheapest I seen. $36 for 500g but after shipping it's 40 something.

[madugo]

I have metro in powder from. 5 grams treats 165g. I have 500g. Let me know if you need it. I will bring it to the apartment for you.

If you use the pill just put 8 in there.

i should have enough for only 5 days of ...and that is it...
if they do ok after 5 days...i guess i will be ok for a while...if not...i may have to get some from u man...
how much u paid for your 500g...where u got them from...
i guess i will need to buy some more and store it for the future...

[madugo]

Some times one day, some times for a few days. If I see white poo and less activity I hit my fishes ASAP.

they eat pretty aggrassive as far as i can tell...nipping alege on the rocks too...
anyway i will do 5 days of metros and see how it goes...

[Mzungu]

Sounds pretty harsh...

[geoff_tropheus]

last resort...

Medicated peas and nori force feed thru syringe

[myjohnson]

Yeah, I've read this on some European sites.

There has been some reports of people doing this on the east cost also, I believe it was a friend of Sharah's but I can't say for sure.

Never tried it or seen it in real life.

[geoff_tropheus]

I never tried this, but I have seen them do with it Fronts where they force feed.

Petros might be stalwart enough to handle it.

Thai, hope all these fishes come out for you. We need more fishes!!

Thanks man. I'm trying. More improvements today.

The ones that are eating are being more aggressive with the flakes so that's a good sign.

Just still got this one girl not eating and just hanging out in the corner.

I'll take the treatment up until Monday. Hopefully by then she will be eating something.

Hard to tell if it's blout or she just don't know how to eat the foods I'm providing her.

[myjohnson]

ok i will do a 5 day treatment then...my weekly water change is tomorrow...so i think i will go ahead and do a water change...then by wednesday next week, i will do another one after the treatment...sounds about right??
so 1 pill for 10g....that means i should throw in like 7 and a half pills then?
also...can you pm me a good place to get metros...i am running low...lol...
thanks dude..

thanks geoff...
it looks a little transparent, and they hanging pretty long...so that worries me a little...

If it's the long thin kind of transparent poo then this might be blout. Are they act normal? Like being super aggressive with eatting?

but they all look fine this morning...i dont see any stringy poop i think...
so if they bloat...do you often see stringy poop for a few days or sometimes just a day??

Yeah, smart move. Better to catch it early then late. Keep us updated.

Madugo, sometimes if you have sand the fish will have white poop, with normal mixed in, which is all fine.

What you got to watchout for is white stringy like skinny glass worms or something.
