I bought a tank yesterday and took some fish with it. There was one male guppy in a 55 gallon with a bunch of albino cory cats and some platy. He isn't acting abnormally, and his fins look really good, but he's white towards his head. Pictures are linked.

It could be columnaris recommended treatment is seachem kanaplex and API furan2 together

OK, I have triple sulfa on hand, that's what the pet store recommended. Will that help any?

Triple sulfa is antibacterial med if you have it to hand I would start treating with it straight away and aquarium salt if that doesn't work I would treat with kanaplex and API furan2 together as they are a more broad spectrum antibiotic treatment

OK, thanks for all of the input. I will treat with the TS, I have no aquarium salt unfortunately, but if it doesn't clear up I'll make another trip to the pet store and pick up the things you recommended.
