I just lost 4 otos, 3 cory’s and 2 danios to some mystery illness. I checked my PH 7.0, Ammonia 0, Nitrites 0 and Nitrates 40ppm. Today I noticed that some of my fish have a white fungus type of thing on the back of their fins. I treated them with Maracyn and Maracyn 2.



In the meantime, my play just dropped about 35 fry. I pulled them out of the tank and they are now in a Dip and Pour container until they are free swimming and completely out of their egg sacs. During this time, do I need to use an air stone? As soon as they are free swimming I am going to transport them into my fry tank that has two 2 month olds and 17 1 month old fry. There are also two cory cats and two very small ottos in that tank. If I put some breeder grass in there, do you think the fry have a fighting chance? I need any and all advice. Thanks
 
the white fungus is the ich treat for that ask a fish seller about how to cure and the fry do need some kind of oxygen start feeding now they eat crush flakes feed three times a day this is for platies if you missed typed if that is not the species plz write what they are.
