In continuing my quest to research intestinal parasites and Metronidazole, I present to you some websites I found tonight

Internal Parasites and Metronidazole

600 250mg for 79.95 - 13.32 for 100 (best price yet)

$15.95 for 100 250mg tablets
eddited to add I ordered one of these tonight, we will see how it works

$20.14 for 100 250mg

5gm seachem stuff for $6.49

I'd like to know if 5grams of seachem metro is equivalent to 5000mg of regular metro.
So far $15.95 is cheapest I found for 100 tablets 250mg. I have seen 500mg tablets out there. I would like to buy 1000 tablets I wonder if I can get them bulk anywhere. Will update on progress

Forcefeeding fish metronidazile
Quote
When hiding Metronidazole in the bodies of the feeder fish, use a dose like this: Sixty seven milligrams of Metronidazole per six inches of fish being treated once per day. So a foot-long Oscar would get a half tablet of 250mg/tablet strength Metronidazole in it's daily feeder fishy. Common sense would dictate the feeder fish would be deceased when the tablet is implanted. The Metronidazole is given daily for five days.

This ^^^^^^ is very interesting. I had to forcefeed my cat for awhile. Using a similar (smaller) syringe one would think it's possible to forcefeed fish, medicated food, etc. Will go to drugstore and get small syringe to attempt on one non-eating cichlid of mine.
