Guppy Problem, eating medicated food

[RedForeman ©®]

I fed the guppy tank some medicated tetra food, she'll ignore it at first,
eat it, then spits it out...

My plan is to feed as much as I can to her, target feeding, then a water
change... I'm trying to get her to eat as much as possible... even if just a
bit... Then if she recovers, great... If not, on Monday, I'll suggest to my
friend that we put her down. I told her about it yesterday and she almost
cried... reason, this is one of her babies from the first batch over 1.5
years ago when I turned her on to aquariums.... The first batch of gupps she
got were all pregnant, then this... hadn't had a death for awhile.... guess
it may be visiting again...

sadly enough, I think it'll be a good thing... rotate the females from time
to time...

Red, the fact that the fish is taking the food and then spitting it out is a
good sign in so far as it still has the desire to eat. When it gets hungry
enough it should eat providing the disease does not advance quicker than her
hunger. I just finished up a 10 day treatment for one of my Endler females
and she is doing well. I also about a month or so ago treated my tank of
Ilyodon Xantusi as a couple showed signs of a concave belly area. The key is
to get to them while they will still take food. Good luck with the fish.

Had an answer, but forgot by the time I made it to the end of your
signature!

So if my signature was shorter, you'd have given me your thoughts?

Short enough?
