Can I treat for fin rot and ich concurrently????

[Guppy Mama]

I just got some neon tetras yesterday...this morning I see that wto of them have one little ich spot apiece.
While examining the fish, I saw that ine of my guppies has a tiny start of fin rot...

Can I treat them at the same time, or do I first treat one and then the other? Please help me, as neither are bad right now, but I owuld like to treat asap to keep them stable.

If I cannot treat for both at the same time, which is more urgent and should be treated first?

I would treat the ich - I found when I sorted the ich the finrot cleared itself up..I think this is because the finrot was caused in the firts place by the dasmage the ich was doing...

If anyone does know how to/has treated for both at once I'd be interested too tho'. I just assumed you couldn't.

The best thing for fin rot is water changes and this helps greatly with ich as well just remember to add the ich med back after the change. HTH

You can use Melafix with most other treatments, I had the same problem, and treated for Ich with Anti-whitespot plus, while using Melafix. The whitespot has gone, and so has the finrot. Also worth pointing out that Melafix is really good for heling torn fins too!!!
EDIT: Oh yeah, the reason you can use it is because it's 100% natural so no chemicals. Sorry if I sound like an ad for Melafix, just I have had good experiences with it!!!
