Started to write Sorry, i have had a very bad reaction to a medication but it seems to finally be fading, Thank God. I am so grateful for my adult "kids" and my granddaughter who told my daughter everything she needed to know about taking care of G'mas fish. My son, daughter, and 7 y.o. granddaughter live with me and she is like a sponge when it comes to my when it comes to my water babies. I've almost decided my botia have fun worrying me sick. The largest, June Cleaver, and in control of the teens, Wally and Eddie and Lumpy and babies, Beaver and Gilbert, continues to flash for a while then stop awhile only to start again. There is NO visable sign of any health problem and that includes looking for hours with my magnifying glass. All will soon be going to a new, much larger home. I couldnt bear to split them up. But i have truly been convinced she does this for my viewing pleasure... NOT!! Prior to my becoming ill, I treated, prophilacticly, for multiple parasites with Paraguard, a few months prior I treated for ich even though I saw no real white spots, I hoped I was catching it early. But in all this time I have seen no real illness. She still flashes at times and Beaver and Gilbert occasionally follow her lead. I believe she is kicking up uneaten food I have missed with my "turkey baster" but I really think they are fine. The kids tell me they did not do this while I was ill...but are back at it now that they see me. Little alligator brats. They also have 3 platy fry and 2 guppy fry they love to play with, but all are very gentle and kind to each other. They also have a lone male guppy whose partner is in the baby house doing just that, having babies, as I write. Thanks so much for your concern. That is one medication that will never pass my threshold again. My doctor has vowed to never write a Rx for it again. I still have some bad recurring panic/anxiety attacks but nothing like the one that went on for several weeks. God willing, i will never experience that again. So, as far as I can tell, all is well. I would, however, appreciate any ideas/comments on my "diagnosis" or lack there of. Thanks again to all.
