i just checked on my fish..and about a week ago they got camalanus or whatever its called and i started treating my whole tank but i think one of my guppies is about to explode. She is really big (like a balloon) and she cant swim right. It looks like she is gasping. I just cant handle dying fish for some reason and im freaking out!! What shoud i do? PLease help :(:(:(
 
Peas or epsom salt.....try and clear out their digestive system, might help with treatment..
 
Sounds like swim bladder, I'm pretty new to this too, but i google a lot of stuff and thankfully there are plenty of people in the forum who are willing to help. As said above deshelled peas are good, especially if they get constipated, i give my fish peas at least once a week. Nuke them in the microwave for 30 seconds, deshell and squash them up a bit. Good luck, i find it stressful if i have sick fish
