You were right Stuart, the Esha didnt seem to alter the test water.
Up-date on the guppy (been with me since I started the tank in Feb)
Yesterday afternoon was swimming normally at the top of the tank and the stomach looks back to normal - seems fine this morning and feeding well. Not sure if the tail is shorter or if it is my imagination but dosed tank with half dose of Esher yesterday and will do a few drops today.
