I found it pretty easy to find, just not at a price I was willing to pay First compounding pharmacy I asked could get it. The regular pharmacy also has it in the form of tablets under the brand Aralen. For medical grade though, you do need a prescription. Lab grade, you do not. The purity difference is negligible.

I can't even see a doctor for my own prescription so never mind getting a prescription for a med that will be used to treat a fish.

Last time I had to renew a prescription, I had to wait 8 hours at the emergency clinic and fight with the stupid doctor to get the prescription for a simple nasal stuff for allergy that I have been using for years. She told me that they don't renew prescription and that I had to see my family doctor..don't have one of course (can't find one of those rare breed).

go figure.

The vet? they won't give any prescription unless they see the animal, no exception. They don't give a prescription for anything exotic.

I originally got a prescription from the vet after he checked the fish postmortem..

Obviously, bringing a fish in for an office visit isn't feasible

I'm not sure if this option would be viable in your case, but it might be worth checking out any vets associated with a local zoo or public aquarium. If they also have a private pet practice, they could be more receptive to the needs of hobbyist's aquariums.
