K thnks. So 50% water changes how often? Would tap water be ok. to use? Its like filtered tap water, and then conditioner. How much conditioner do you suggest I put? Would salt help too, and if so, how much? And if I do get a test kit, how do I get nitrites and ammonia down, just water changes? ALso, the fishes gills are a little pink, and are pretty open, is that also probably form ammonia?
My guppy may have gill flukes.

There should be instructions on the bottle for how much per gallon or several gallons. Water changes are your best bet for keeping ammonia and nitrites down. You probably have to do them daily or more than once per day in a tank that size.
ok
You mean daily until my fish gets better right? After that, maybe about once a week?? Or?? I mean, that's what thay say at all petstores, even one which is mainly fish, so they are true experts. 50% about once daily sound good? And if he doesn't get better, then what?

if its nitrite, which if you have a new tank its prob is do a water change. 50% everday. go out and buy a test kit also. i like the master test kit which you can pick up from petsmart for $13 with a price match from the online store.
