See Whitespot ? topic below for previous history and advice.

Started treating the tank on Sunday when the guppy from the previous topic (Whitespot?) suddenly displayed a dusting of white spots. When I came home fromwork yesterday he was on the subtrate breathing heavily, but came up for food. Looked thinner and duller in colour than the day before. Today, he appears to have been swimming all day, but did not eat tonight and was on the substrate again, looking as if he was breathing his last and tipping sideways.

Is there anything that I can do?

I am also woried by the cloudiness of the tank. All readings are normal.

Am =0, Nitrite=0, ph=7, nitrate=0. All other fish are fine.

Does the medication do this ( Aquarium Treatment. Whitespot Plus No6 - INTERPET). or was the the broccolli which (which became covered in a white fungus within a few hours and smelled up the tank) to blame?

This is not the fun part of fish-keeping! :/
 
is this tank new? like 1 week new? if not its probably a bacterial infection treat with maracyn-two ASAP!

No 10 weeks old, fully cycled.

Will marcyn 2 be ok with the whitespot treatment?

Guppy is now dead.
 
R.I.P. Have you incrrease aeration in the tank.
Don't add the maracyn for now if the guppy is dead.

Bought an air pump and a stone today to increase aeration, but when I got home I discovered that no hose supplied with either. Back to shop tomorrow...Meanwhile have lowered water level and increased filtration. hope that will do for now.
