Thank you this helps. Yeah trying to be persistent I’ve got a bigger tank coming but that won’t be ready for few weeks as everyone suggests cycling for few weeks. Also the guppy hasn’t been fed for 1-2 days, as a precaution. Do I continue feeding it? I know they can go few days without it plus with the filter out, food will make more mess? What’s the thing about feeding them cooked peas? Do I just drop one cooked pea in there?Not sure if anyone explained why to remove the carbon. Sorry if this is duplicative. You are so persistent I feel like I must respond so you know why it is neccessary to remove the carbon..

Carbon basically cancels out the medication. It is the material in most of the kits and is what is inside the replacement cartridges.
It absorbs impurities as well as medications. If you leave the carbon cartridges in it will suck out the medication! Hope this makes sense and if I am wrong please someone correct me...or if someone already said that, whoops.
(Eventually you will learn that you don't have to replace those cartridges as much as they "reccomend" ).
For now just do the next indicated thing!
