Anti-Biotic for discus

[byrnsy]

Just wondering if there is a readily available anti-biotic for my discus. It may have an internal parasite which had caused it to hide, stay dark and swim on its side in circles. Will try epsom salts and increase water changes first.

Mate the most commonly used and recommended antibiotic for discus is Flagyl aka Metronidazole. This can be bought from your local Vet.

Here's a few threads about Metro which I recommend you read.
