Ah, that makes sense. The day they make fish meds illegal is the day I become a criminal.Well, you live in a country where you can purchase fish medications on an over-the-counter basis. The few vendors in Canada who do offer pre-quarantined fish have access to, and put their fish through, a regimen of prophylactic treatment that offers an alternative to having to dump all your fish into copper or hypo (or both) as soon as they come through the front door. It doesn't eliminate all risks, but it does reduce most of them. And, having visited Chris at Ethical Aquatics many times to pick up fish, he is most certainly not a scammer.
