Guppy illness?

[sharky&george]

I cant work out what is wrong with my guppy, as i put in a earlier post she had sort of a red scratched area, which then turned into cotton wool like growths. So i treated with no 8 but it seems to be getting worse she is swimming fine but the cottony area is growing i only treated her on thursday last week could it be that the meds have not had enough time to work?

Where is the cotton stuff on the fish does it look fluffyIf it's this you will need to use a fungus med and anti internal bacteria med in the uk.

its on top of her in the middle, it looks like fluffy stuff and also i just noticed a red streak but that could be what this originally come from I have used anti fungus and finrot treatment last thursday

A red streak is saying septicemia and you will have to medicate fast as it can be hard to cure if it has progressed, anti internal bacteria med by interpet, good luck.

thanks,do i use it in the main tank and if its not that illness does it matter that i have treated the fish with that med?

I ask about using that tank i would have to really as in my other post i am in process of settin up a small hospital tank but not quite there yet!

Also if it is that would the other fish catch it too/
And is the fluffy look a symptom too?

 

[sharky&george]

What should i do?
sorry to keep on )

 

[WILDER]

Sounds like you had columnaris with a second infecion with the septicemia, i would medicate the whole tank, good luck.

[WILDER]
