This is it! I actually forgot the name of the place, good memory!

Sorry for late reply! Yes @Stingro that is the stuff but I bought it from Kleen Blast in the port area as @DMD123 mentioned. It was $19 for 50 lbs or something. Good luck!

The shipping is too expensive. Do you have the name or address of the place at the port area you got it from? Thanks!

Datnoid not doing well. Cannot equilibrate and maintain buoyancy. Lays on the bottom or among the roots of pothos growing out the top of the tank. I attempted a swim bladder venting procedure a couple of weeks ago but it didn’t work. The abdomen is distended on one side only. Still managing to eat… looking for a fish vet. I’m worried it’s a tumor. It’s around 9 years old, 18 inches.

So sorry to hear that. Quite a monster fish! Hopefully it can recover soon.
