rosepeddler Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 I am at a loss. Water quality spot on, temp 78, excellent filtration, two air stones, calcium, salt,weekly water changes,etc. In the past two and a half weeks I have lost 8 guppies from my 29 gal tank. I treated once with melafix and lost 3 of the 8. My fry is unaffected. One Cory lost part of his dorsal and tail but growing back and doing well. Lost some beautiful fish. It does look like a fungal issue. The fins look as if they disintegrate. Any suggestions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish Folk Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Sorry to hear.... Can you upload a few photos? It is sometimes hard to pinpoint where this sort issue finds its root cause. My usual issue, personally, is over feeding. I do use API products. Once you can pinpoint the cause... maybe API Fin & Body might help. If it’s fungus, perhaps API Fungus Cure. But you want to be sure. Maricyn might treat external rot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colu Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 I would do a 50% water change treat with maracyn or kanaplex it looks to bacterial infection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosepeddler Posted May 25, 2021 Author Share Posted May 25, 2021 I did a 33% water change last night. Can I use melafix or get maracyn? Maracyn 2 better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 (edited) You can use maracyn or maracyn2 maracyn treats gram positive bacterial infections and maracyn2 treats gram negative bacterial infection Edited May 25, 2021 by Colu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
