State I'm in basically made it impossible to buy kanamycin or furan-2 without a vet script now. Called three local shops, all of them pulled it off the shelf months ago. So I did what any reasonable person does and ordered from an overseas site that still ships it.

Paid with my card, order went through, 20 minutes later I get a fraud alert and a hold on my account. Card's still locked 4 days later. Not even the first time. Last year I tried to buy a pair of wild bettas from a farm in Thailand and PayPal killed the transaction twice. Ended up using crypto which worked, but the fish sat in customs for 9 days. One made it, one didn't. Still salty about that one.

So now I'm stuck. Got a 20 long with what I'm pretty sure is columnaris creeping up on one of my females and the only thing that used to knock it out is the exact stuff I can't get my hands on. Salt and clean water isn't cutting it. VPN doesn't help either when the problem is my bank flagging anything that even looks like an overseas pharmacy.

Anyone got a vendor that takes crypto or a prepaid card without losing their mind? Or a reshipper that doesn't take 3 weeks? Not trying to do anything shady here, I just want to treat my damn fish.
