A little PO'd

I was trying to stock a medicine cabinet because I want some new fish soon and will be using my first QT process. So here I am trying to be all responsible about it, got some de-worming food, methylene blue for a dip and then I go to get some formalin and I cant because I live in CA!! What the F. How am I supposed to stop a B&W clown from getting brook or treat them for it if they already have it? This seems to be the only solution for that disease.

My solution is to just have my friend purchase it who lives out of state and just mail it to me, but still, we shouldnt have to go through that. Annoying!

Because Formalin is a known carcinogen thus making it illegal in Ca.

CMG you have a PM coming your way.

Re: A little PO'd

All known carcinogens are banned in Ca? What about cigarettes and oral contraceptives? Are they banned?

Re: A little PO'd

we had a whole bunch of meds removed from stores here too, I guess going to the Doctor is so annoying people take animal meds for themselves, I prefer to see the vet myself, no waiting, housecalls and the cookie jar is always full

Scott, I'm not sure about all carcinogens but Formalin certainly is.

I'm sure I can find you someone to help out. El Paso is full of expert (and not so expert) smugglers of all kinds.
