Dear Galactuz,
Epson salt is also use to help relieve constipation in human.
You can get it from those shop selling 'organic product'.
Dose of Discus is 1 tea spoon for every 10 gallon of water.
I will redose it after water change to maintain the concentration.
It has been recommended by many to use this if there is chances of indigestion in discus.
I use this for 3 days before I threat them for internal parasite with Metro.
My dose for discus is 10 milligram per litre of water ( 4 ft tank, 10 tables of 200 milligram each ).
As this medicine is only effective for 8 hr. or so, I redose it every day after water change.
Did it for 10 days continue, cure cases of white feases for discus.
I was told this medicine is quite mild and not serious if overdose a bit.
( temperature has to be high as it do not dissolve in low temperature ).
For discus, sometime we feed this medicine directly into the mouth of discus if its not eating and add to food if its eating.
Done both and no problem.
You should check out for more professional advise on this in the DHP site,

Cheers!

I've heard of Metronidazole but how do you administer the medication to the fish. Just by dilution into the tank water or orally by crushing and mixing with the food for them to consume??
This would be an interesting topic for guppy fans. However we need someone to experiment on their guppies. I'm afraid of the acute dosage which would spell the end of your guppy  |
