I'm on day 6 of treatment and have 2 treatments to go although I carried about 2 15% water changes so I'll probably have to do a couple extra treatments. I am so down though. My favorite guppy who I've had for a long time seems to be doing real bad.

Now he is laying on the bottom more often and when he swims he is very unbalanced. Gills are inflamed and drooping a bit and I noticed a couple small red spots. I just feel so sorry for him. :sad:

It said on the Waterlife medication not to do water changes during the treatments but I emailed the Waterlife people and he said that really they shouldnt be carried out during treatment but if the water quality gets bad than to do a water change but that I might need to treat a little longer.

I probably shouldnt of done water changes but I noticed poo and what not on the bottom and I didnt think it would be good to not change the water for 10 days. I hope I didnt mess up the treatment and jeopardize my fishes health. UGH :-(

The guppy is still quite active though and eating..so I am just praying he'll pull through..I feel awful :-(
