Endler-Guppy hybrids inter worms and gill infection

My endler-guppies have a severe case of internal worms and a few have inflamed gills in which one is dying. The infection could be from poor water conditions. I am on day 3 in
treating her with API Triple Sulfer. She started excreting worms and eggs. And she was constantly hungry. But after 24 hours she looks like she contracted Swim Badder dysfunction as she is tail up but still eating. She is isolated but I have no idea what else to do for her. She sleeps in a jack knife position too. Should I put her to sleep?

Would it be ok to treat first tanks with Polyguard then treat when done with Paraguard or vice-versa?

I heard prazipro can help with worms

If you plan on keeping guppies, or any livebearers, you need to invest in a good quality dewormer (that works for roundorms/nematodes) such as levimasole, fluebendazole, or ivermectin
The diffrence is night/day in their overall health

I lost the female, unfortunately. But I am doing a 9 day treatment with Seachem Polyguard for all tanks. I'll repeat again in 10-14 days. Hopefully that will work. Pics are of a few I really don't want to lose. Fingers crossed!

Why are you treating with all these wierd meds and combos of medications, but not using a dewormer? If you think they have worms, use a dewormer. Dont waste money and pollute the aquarium with harsh chemicals unless you are trying to kill ick or some other external parasite.
Always cycle your aquarium, change the water on a regular basis, don't overfeed, and if you happen to use "meds" make sure they wont kill off your Benifical bacteria.
