Does esha heximita contain metro?

I read somewhere that Dimetridazole is more effective but only available from vets. Is fed in food.

Water changes and a very good diet can also clear it.

Ive used Octozin for a lathargic Oscar and also a Geo that had hole in the head and it workd a treat both times, dosing is kinda odd though as it comes in tablet form, i had to disolve them in a glass before adding to the tank as the fish wanted to eat the tablets!

I think "Metro" Metronidazole aka Flagyl/Ronidazole in food/water is better than Dimetridazole for Hexamita/Spironucleus.


Dimetridazole is good in the food against whitespot and effective against velvet in water.
