should i do it now or after the water change
and just as a quick remedy should i raise the tempurature in the tank to like 80 to reduce stress or something and also keep in mind i can only afford or find regular petstore medication even if it just keeps him alive till i can get a better medicing online or something which would be in a few days week top

aight i was thinking of actually buying the medicine first letting it run through the water ive already taken 25 % of the old water out and asfter about like 2 hours of the medicine running in the tank adding the new water thinking it might be less stressful on him to me he is just laying at the bottom of the tank dont wont him to croak
what medicine are you going to buy, if you don't know what is wrong with the fish (?!?)
test your water first, so that you can narrow down the possible problems . . . what are your ammonia/nitrite/nitrate readings?
