matt..i bet that the shrimp could go into something else, while doing a 5 day treatment with maracyn2 for your mollie..? My platys was round, not fluffy, and it did spread until I medicated her..shes doing so well and its going away. You could do it too

the maracyn2 trreatment is a 5 day treatment, results were good in 3 days, but you have to continue for the full 5 days so it is truly gone

Aw Matt, I'm really sorry. Crumb. I hate when you're doing everything right but everything goes wrong. It's so disheartening.
Looks like some good info has already been given so I'll wish you lots of luck.
I sure hope things improve soon.

Just a helpful suggestion. I have a bunch of kritter keepers a small filter and small heater (tetra from walmart).
It's a pretty inexpensive when you don't have anywhere to put something quickly.

Ok so I just came back from my LFS and I got some jungle tank fungus cleaner stuff......I did not get Maracyn 2 because it was 17.50 and thats out of my price range...... so right now I have PIMAFIX which says it treats fungus and I have the jungle fungus stuff..... which one should I use?

im sorry for more losse matt whens the last time you tested for ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates? are you still using salt? I would try to find some prime and do at least a week or more of daily partial water changes ...adding some stress coat as well will make them feel better...between the fish getting stuck to the filter and being totally healthy prior to that, I think that tank needs a break with some more natural additives...looking back on your posts, its probably going to be a good break for you and your fish ....

So I should stop using AmQuel+? I tested my water about a week ago...... so what do you think PIMAFIX or jungle fungus tabs.
