Sadly yesterday my guppy passed away due to fin rot, and today when I went to check on my guppies, another one has fin rot and is dying I really do not know what to do! IMG_1479225881.140718.jpg
Here is today's water sample
 
The easiest, cheapest way to stop an outbreak like this is to get medicated Terramycin (oxytetracycline) feed and some cheap methylene blue.
It will only work on the ones still eating, so cull any that are really bad off
Ken's Premium Sinking Pellets with Oxytetracycline 2.5mm
Kordon Methylene Blue 4 oz.
Put it in the blender.
Alternatively, if your in a hurry and money is no problem, you should go to a local fish only store and ask for kanaplex (kanamycin sul) and use that along with a medicine you can find at Walmart called "fungus cure"
Its a green tablet, use them together, the antibiotic kanamycin in the water, and the tablet.
Two scoops per ten gallons, one tablet.
