Hmmmm, I start to believe it is the higher temps we have to deal with. Did you have Sunshine last year during summer already? Did you have such problems too with higher temps? I am not experienced in this, but logically some bacteria like the warmer temps... and I know it is hard to keep the tank cooler this time of the year, just going through the same experience here... (( except the red blotches )... also with our Sunshine) I think I'd try Nossies diet, trouble is there are no live blackworms available as long as it is so hot  Food soaked in Tetracycline is not a bad idea either. Hope all will turn out fine, including yourself And hope you are ok too, geez food poisoning , how awfull, what happened? Please take care.

The thing is I barely feed either fish pellets anymore and I feed them the exact same thing, so why is Sunshine constipated and Clementine not? Well I guess that is obvious, same reason why some people get sick and others don't but still annoying! It's just all a big worry! The red dot has gone which is good but why did it show up in the first place? Is there something still wrong with Sunshine inside like you suggested Nossie. I'm just worried to try the anti-bacterial food as it has to be pellets and that might add to the constipation so I'm not sure what to do  Also Sunshine's ventral fin has not grown back, I can't even remember when it became like that and I've also noticed her pectoral fins are quite ragged, not white at the ends, just ragged like I said. I could try and get a photo but it's very hard, so I might look for one on google  I can't think of what to do about that, as it just seems that is the way it is now. Not sure who else to turn to about this, maybe I could see if Aimee could ring that number she has mentioned before. Oh and Hanna, with the antibiotic food, do you know if it is actually illegal to buy some over the internet and get it shipped to Australia? I imagine it is and it would be stopped at customs

I hope Sunshine gets better soon Andrea  It must be so frustrating  Especially when you can't find the root of the problem! I think that they scan the packages and then open them if they seem suspicious. My boyfriend bought a plastic gun for one of his old super nintendos from America and it got stuck in customs for over a month lol. I think they might have thought it was a real gun in disguise  Edit: These are the only things I could find that are apparently anti-parasitic. But they are not medicated so I am not sure how good they are. ( Link is not visible to guests. Please register to view.)

Oh right, Well the garlic stuff says anti-bacterial so maybe you could give that a go  They sell jungle on eBay ( Link is not visible to guests. Please register to view.)
The postage is heaps expensive though  And like you said, it probably wouldn't get through customs and that would be a waste of money.

Yeah I mean you could buy it but there is no guarantee it will get through, and in my experience they are pretty wary of packages coming from other countries. I found a better link!!!!! This one tells you how much to dose and it even mentions tetracycline further down the page  ( Link is not visible to guests. Please register to view.)
