Here's a list of some of the common treatments for diseases in the US. This may not be all of them, so feel free to PM me to add more onto this. Just include the name, whether it's parasitic, fungal, or bacterial, and a brief description. :)

I cannot personally guarantee any of these medications will treat your fish, or work for you. It's just a list so you can see your options. Descriptions were taken from manufacturers, so the authenticity is not guaranteed. Please read the information on the medicine you try for dosage and warnings.

Hi there,

Can you help me find suppliers for Binox?
I live and work in Holland for a small shop (www.dediscusschuur.nl) and we would like
to buy Binox in the UK.

The suppliers would have to ship it to Holland.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Stevan
