Exactly...that's what Guppy was placed on first and apparently that made the problem worse! He's on Ivemectin now and is doing very well. One thought, though. If you do have to give Ivemectin, it's gotta be by mouth and they hate it. Ask for a syringe or two with needles and inject the medicine into something that they will gobble up...Guppy Loves tiny marshmallows so that's what I use.
