Where to get Fish Erythromycin?

[tygunn]

My daughter has a Betta with severe fin rot that has not responded to salt treatment. I think its time to try a gram-negative antibiotic like erythromycin. Dr. FostersSmith has it, but their shipping is pretty pricey for a small item like this.

Anyone know where I can get fish erythromycin locally? Petsmart and Petco don't have that kind of thing.

Thanks,
Tyler

I hate sending people here, but I'm almost positive that 6th Avenue fish store has eurythromycin. I think they are also open until 10.

Thanks for the tips all. Judging by the behavior of the fish today its not going to make it at this point. I guess its prudent to keep a few fish meds on hand in the future.
Sheesh these Betta fish come in such horrible water conditions from the store they're almost doomed from the start.

I keep paraguard on hand for this very reason. It's a pretty good medication that can be used to treat most things, and is pretty easy on the fish. I actually usually use it as a 2 hour bath for all incoming fish before they leave the bag.
