Seachem MetroPlex alternative?

I’ve been recommended to try MetroPlex to check if my betta has internal parasites or something going on. But I can’t find it at local fish stores or Canadian Amazon. Is there an alternative? Or does anyone know where I can purchase it online in Canada?

Fish bloated

I noticed sometime around the 25th my betta had this big bloating. I started a 3 day fast, fed her once, then another 3 day fast. Then I gave her one piece of food one day, two the next. Looking back at an aquarium photo the bloating has been present since the 18th.

Her tank perimeters are perfect, tested with the API freshwater master kit. Her High Level PH was in the okay range instead of best range, everything else was best/safe.

I removed her plastic plants and added real plants. I added a piece of drift wood, a moss ball, catappa leaf, and increased her heat to 78/79°. I purchased Fluval bug bites to switch from the pet smart brand of pellets.

She has a filter with sponge in it and no tank mates.

What do I do next? No difference in her bloating. I’ve had her for 2yrs and have never seen this before.
