My finacee got a molly and two guppies on Sunday. We used Bio-Spira to cycle the tank. The molly (yuki) and two guppies (Artimus and Luna). Today when we got back from Class about 9:00 or 9:30 pm, we saw that Yuki was laying upside down on the bottom of the tank. I told my Finacee to put the molly back into a quarentine tank and we noticed that yuki has 3 open sores on her tail. When we bought her she had Ick which was treated with some tank buddies. Any ideas, suggestions ect

Thanx in advance

It just sounds like you bought a sick fish. If the ick has been treated, you need to treat the sores something like a combination of Maracyn I and Maracyn II. This will treat the sores, prevent them from getting fungus, and treat for any bacterial infections. Just keep in mind the sick was sick before you bought it, and it might not make it through the treatments, but there is no other choice.

Well i couldn't even get to the pet store before Yuki died thank you for the advise and fast response. In the quarentine tank, Yuki was upside down on the bottom of the tank and she died with an about an hour or so of me posting that last one I will keep in mind the Maracyn I and II treatment what is the common name for those is it basically melafix

Thanx
