Hi,

I have a swordtail who for the last 2 days has been hovering at the top of the tank breathing air, and some of my guppies were 'flashing'.

The only medicine I had was Quick Cure, so I dosed that yesterday and tonight, as Quick Cure seemd to be correct for both the symptoms.

But today I also noticed a female guppy with a long white stringy poop, I did some more research and it sounded like internal parasites too, I was unable to find out if Quick Cure was for internal parasites too, so tonight I went out and bought some 'Parasite Clear' Tank buddies - all I could find for internal parasites.

My questions are:
Can I put the 'Parasite Clear' tablets in the same time as the 'Quick Cure' - or should I wait till tomorrow night ?
Should I do any water changes before I start the tablets ?
Or does Quick Cure fix internal parasites too ? and I wasted my money on the tablets !

Thanks for any advice.

Ian
