What is wrong with your fish? This is the first thing we should figure out before out just bomb your aquarium with meds.

@Fishmonger_X my male guppies started showing fin rot  and few died and couple of female guppies started having fungus white color in their face. i remove those put in the bucket

i recently bought these and dropped them in to my tank without any quarentine. i want to take preventive action before other fieshes die.

all the fishes are bought in a week. pretty new

I'd give them maracyn and paracleanse..... or just take them back to the store..... I never do that, but that's me.

 

Also look up the video about Guppies. Maybe they came from really salty water so adding some salt could help them.

@Fishmonger_X Thanks for your great guidance. unfortunately i bought them online , learned some hard newbie lesson. i didnt ask the seller whether it came from salt water. few came from aquahuna and few from other online store. i want to save what i have and be careful going forward.

 

can you point to some videos?

[Fishmonger_X]

Aquahuna are fresh water. Pretty much anything from East Asia are raised in salt water.... I've never ordered from the East but I'm sure you can find breeders that have guarantees. This is really not something I'm very educated about.
