@Loralee, if you do decide to get that one the dose is ~57 mg per pound orally twice a day.

If you live in the USA (except Califoronia) you can go to Tractor Supply and see what they have or you can order antibiotics for fish or order from gamebird or pigeon websites.

If you live in California where all antibiotics require prescriptions you will have to buy fish antibiotics or antibiotics from a gamebird or pigeon supply website.
