it is for humans, but if you enter 'cephalexin fish' into google you will
find several on-line aquarium stores that sell it.

this site had the lowest price I saw:

It is *not* cheap but you might be able to find a vet who would supply it
for you cheaper. I'm a pharmacist, so I can tell you that the generics are
not all that expensive.

My parents still live in Tucson, so I get mine from mexico.
