What Should I Do?!?!

[shi24137]

my poor platy scarlette is not looking so good. about a week ago i dosed my tank to get rid of internal parasites and scarlette hasnt been the same since. she has been sulking on the bottom, not eating and today she looks as if her tail doesnt want to move so she can swim. part of me wants to euthanize her but im not sure how or what is the best way...but i also dont want to kill my fish and just let her pass naturally. when i saw her laying on the bottom i put my face close to the tank to see her better and she swam over and layed next to the glass. it was almost like she was asking me to put her out of her misery...i just dont know what to do. i feel like im suffering along with her...please help me!

I've heard that the best way to euthenise is to put them in a cup of water and put them in the freezer. Supposed to be easier on them. Don't do anything until you've heard from some others with more experience though in case they know of something you can do to save the poor mite.
Hope someone can help more.

No don't do that, they don't die immediately instead as the water in the cells freezes all the cells rupture.

What med did you use for internal parasites. As you have to back up with a bacterial med.

Try a bacterial med first.

Once a fish is infested with internal parasites the damage has been done. The med is to late for that fish.
