Which Order?

Well I picked up a internal parasite medicine, a ich medicine and some melafix today... In which order should I give the medicine? My fish are starting to get worse.. my red lady wont even swim that much...

from the sounds of it hun you don't have time to do all 3 one at a time soooo, i would go for the internal and melafix at the same time. The melafix will control the ich while the internal does its job then once that runs its course do a hughe water change leave it clear of meds for 48hrs, bar the melafix if that hasn't finished its five day course, then add the Ich treatment.

Good luck hun and keep us posted ok

well becuz i never got that msg until right now.. i figured i would start with the ick medicine first and see if maybe the signs i was seeing were because of the ick...hen if they were no better then i would do the melafix and internal.. but i have a feeling that i might not need the internal meds... i turned up the heat did a dose of ick guard and theyre already acting better... theyre fins are all shredded so i got the melafix to help em out.. i dont know what shredded them tho.. i can hardly believe it was another female... i think it was because theyre sick.. but not because of ick.. could internal parasites deteriorate the fins of my bettas?

I would also do the melafix and internal both right now. The ich meds you should save for after. Keep your aquarium temperature up at around the 80-82 degree mark, and I would even try adding a little aquarium salt. The higher temps will help with the ich, so you can put that one off for now.
