Ok well i have been to p@h and been suitably relieved of funds lol

i have bought pimafix, melafix and interpet anti-fungus and fin rot


So now my question is should i treat the whole tank ?

I have another small tank it is 19 u.s gallons empty so guess 15 gal of water but i do not have a filter for it should i put the rainbows in here even tho there is no filter or would this just stress them more ?

Can i use all three meds together or would this be overkill for the poor fishies if not which is best to use and what stage?

Thanks for the input did have a look but to be honest made me even less decisive

sorry looks like this thread has been moved back in here to mods feel free to delete as i now seem to have three topics in the emergencies section on the same prob This one
also
topic title:sick danio pls help
possible mouth rot/columnaris rainbow fish

all three relate to the same topic sorry but i wasn't sure where to post or whether to seperate the different illnesses/fish

If it is columnaris, you need myxazin and pimafix, used together, remove carbon from filter, lower temp to 24c, do a 50% w/c prior to treating as well.

Minx, API usually recommend Melafix first for columnaris. Pimafix if the Melafix appears ineffective.
