Canadians How do you setup a QT with Medication Ban

[bmac300]

Just a question for fellow Canadians who have QT tanks. With the ban on any fish medication in Canada how do you treat any livestock in a QT tank? I have some old ich medication but if my fish actually has something that requires medications thanks to the ban i can't get anything from what i understand. I've heard of some people using ebay and getting things shipped from the U.S. but it as a gamble that it will be stopped at the border. Any advice for a fellow Canadian setting up a QT tank.

Thanks sleeping giant I'll look into those online sites. Really wish I had a decent LFS near me, all the good ones are a few hours away. Just waiting on the border to open up so i can go over to Michigan.

Ban on medication for fish? How stupid is that? Do they just make all medication have to have prescription? I guess you can just get medication (antibiotics) for dog, cat, horse, human... Whatever, and use it for fish.
I understand Peanut is illegal in Canada also. This is government running amok. I am glad I don’t live in Canada.
