Fungus Issues?

[Bettababe1011]

Thanks. Earl-may seemed to have a pretty good stock, its my only lfs type place around that has given me good advice. And that I actually trust-- usually.

This'll all get worked out in some way. Even if that means losing all of my guppies from the first batch. I actually had six, and one died from injury, so I got another. It's only been the first ones acting strange and dying. I really hope it doesn't kill all my guppies though.

You don't have a qt right?

 

[Bettababe1011]

Nope. We are moving, so a lot of stuff is in storage, and my qt is one of them, unfortunately.

 

[needmorecowbell]

Can they be returned? You could ask them when their next shipment of guppies will come in and wait another week then buy the healthy ones.

 

[Bettababe1011]

They already have another shipment. The guppies have been in there for over a week. They have like a two day return policy, and you can't return anything live.

Besides, I've grown attached to the guppies, and I think the others are gonna be fine. They don't have any open wounds(Fin nips) like the one that got fungus did.

I was at Earl may yesterday with my dad and saw the most beautiful guppy that I wish I could get. Maybe I'll be able to. And hopefully these will be stronger than my last ones.

 

[needmorecowbell]

You might be able to ask them to reserve it for you.

 

[Bettababe1011]

Yeah. I might be able to get more guppies today.

Should I add stresscoat to the tank to help them out?

 

[needmorecowbell]

Are they still showing signs of sickness?

 

[Bettababe1011]

It was only the one fish that was sick. The others are fine. The sick one died. But since the fungus had attached where the fin nips hadn't healed, I think the others will be fine.

 

[needmorecowbell]

You could probably just do a pwc and add the stresscoat to that.

 

[Bettababe1011]

Well, I want to know if I should, because I would have to buy the stresscoat. Unless my dechlor has stresscoat. I'll have to double-check.

 

[needmorecowbell]

Unless your new fish are showing signs of sickness or the old ones don't look so great, I wouldn't buy it yet.

 

[Bettababe1011]

Okay. Thanks. My remaining fish look fine. I'm sure the new ones will be fine too.

 

[needmorecowbell]

Yep
