I saw this hemorrhage on my pleco about 6 months ago. It started as a small spot on her stomach. I let it get to this point not knowing what was going on. After researching, I was pretty sure that I was going to lose my pleco AND now one of my tetras had a whole bunch of her insides hanging out of her gills....horrible! Both are well on their way to recovering. I didn't think that the fish with the inside-out, bloody gills was going to survive, but he's eating and happily swimming like normal. I followed the directions (it says 5 days, I did 9). It warned against it, but I had really sick fish and had to do something. It was a complete shot in the dark but, I'm happy I chose this product, I'm pretty sure it saved my entire fish tank.
