I'm posting this for my brother.
He currently has a 10 gallon tank set up with
(1) female guppy (currently sick or wounded?)
(10) female baby guppies
(1) clown loach
(3) cory cats
(2) honey sunset gourami
(30) or so red cherry shrimp
He was going to be moving the loach, gourami, & cories to his new tank but noticed that his female guppy had white spots on her that didn't resemble ich. He had the water tested and all level were in check except that water was a little hard, so he treated the tank for fungus hoping that it wouldn't spread. The spot disappeared before the end of the treatment but he did the full treatment. He went on vacation and I baby sat his fish and the 2nd day in I noticed that the spots were back. I had to way of getting a hold of him and didn't know what he treated them with and decided to wait until he returned home the next day.
That was on wednesday June 30th. She was acting normal until this morning. He woke up to her laying on the bottom of the tank with the shrimp all over her. He removed her and noticed that she was still breathing. The largest white spot turned into a wound. He had his water tested and the readings were the same as when the spot first appeared.
Does anyone have any idea what would cause this and if it could infect the entire tank and what to treat it with?
