It's now apparent that my big oscar seems to have a hexamita infection
- single long strand of white membranous looking faeces, been there for
24 hours.

I've seen it written about the place that you should use metranidazole
for this. Problem is, it doesn't seem to be such a common finding in
Pet/fish stockists in Australia. It's only on ebay from overseas
sellers, and I'm pretty sure it's illegal to import medication from
overseas.

Is there something else that will work? As I don't really feel like
pretending that I have a gastric ulcer so I can get some prescribed to
me!

I get my supplies online from www.thatpetplace.com and I just checked
and they do ship around the world. You'll have to contact them by phone
or email for shipping cost. I also checked for metronidazole and it
sells for $42.49 for 100 grams. I use the stuff and it's great. It
doesn't mess with the bio filter and can be added directly to your tank
water. I use it whenever I add new fish as a preventive measure and it's
safe when used correctly. These people are great with answers to
questions you may have. Just bring up their website and put
metronidazole in the search box and you'll get the product. Hope this
helps. Good luck..

Hi, i had this with one of my goldfish. I was using 'quick cure' at
the time for a fungal infections and then gave her some antibiotic
food. It was a long process but did work in eventually. Probably not
much help but maybe an alternative if you can't get anything else. I
assume that you can get antibiotic food in AU? The fish hated it but
the problem did stop. Haven't seen anything resembling it for at least
5-6 weeks now.

I'm a newbie and so not experienced like the other 'pro's' here.
It worked for me
