Brooklynella in a Canadian Reef tank

I can’t find any Pets drug mart in Montreal. There is an online store called Petsdrugmart.ca but you need prescriptions.

Is it a brick and mortar store ?

Check out Exotic Aquarium World in Mississauga, I just found the Ruby Rally Reef Pro

Its been 3 years since I discovered them. Did they move- Not sure but the Petsdrugmart.ca you mentioned may be them

That sucks! But how do we get prescriptions if there are no fish vets in Montreal?

The only way I have found (and I really tried) is to go to Veterinary school in St-Hyacinthe but they want you to bring the fish in for examination and biopsy. I’m not doing that.

So look around; I have found meds on Amazon US, Ebay and even Walmart online. I only have a few but that can be helpful still.

But yes, it sucks.

I can’t get to st-Hyacinthe by myself as I can’t drive. I wish that there was a closer option for me.

amazon us is probably the best bet for meds in canada without a script, takes a week or 2 to get them. im also from canada and in the same boat but there is copper, prazi, some antibiotics like general cure or paracleanse which have metro and prazi, i think metro is a treatment for brook if im not mistaking and you can get it as fritz metro-cleanse on amazon us almost 100% i just saw it a couple weeks ago. Not sure if they have ruby rally reef though.

Yeah, by the time it arrives, the fish will have already died. I’d better go and put them down at the first sign of diseases than letting them suffer until they die. I have been there and hated it so much. I saw my pearl gouramis starving in front of me even if I fed them. And it was very hard to watch. My fish are healthy, but it’s just in case something like this happens. The thing with fish is that you need to treat them as soon as you know what you’re dealing with. Otherwise, the fish die.

yeah i agree would probably be too late, doesnt hurt to have the stuff for the future though or know where to get it if its in the tank unless your going fallow. i have a clown goby right now that at one point i thought had brook but treated with metro and now it looks more like ich or maybe bacterial, it has had this for like almost 2 months and im still trying to save it.

I hope it recovers! I’ll just put down sick fish because med arrives too late.

That’s why you need to buy the meds before something happens. Best time to buy is in the spring, when they won’t freeze or get too hot during shipping.

I’ll see what I can do.

Do you have an understanding Physician? Formalin is used to treat Finger Nail problems, and is available in Pharmaceutical Grades.

Be honest about what you are using it for, or you may end up with a bottle of Nail Polish with it already added!

Yea, my medical team is very thorough, so I would have to be up front with them lol

Don’t hold your breath. It’s good to try but I doubt they’ll risk losing their license for a fish…

 

[Spare time]

Can you get seachem paraguard? It's an aldehyde mixture (with malachite green). I have had success with it and brook (at least it appeared so).

I was proactive and ordered a variety of meds from the U.S. using Amazon. There's some meds you can get on amazon.ca like copper power and ruby reef and some other natural type meds but amazon.com is where you will find everything else. Shipping did take about 3-4 weeks I believe
