tank info: 10 gal divided, 2 1/2 for fry, 7 1/2 for adults.
2 guppy, 2 swordy,2 platy

a few days ago i spotted my male platy and his fry rubbing against rocks and i thought that was strange, but didnt notice anything in the tank. then yesterday i found a little fry, coming from the swordtail who was huuge, so, i removed all the frys from my tank, including my 3 1 week old platy fry on the other side, and put them in a 1 L container, then moved the other adults to the fry side so the swordtail can give birth peacefully.

i kept them there until yesterday night and decided to get all the fry out, cuz my swordy seems done. 17 in all, plus my 3 platy fry. so then i put all of them back and noticed that my platies have white spots over their fins and tails. OMG.

so during the course yesterday to today i put about 7 tbsp of salt in my 10 gal, cuz i read that you should put 4-6 tbsps of salt if the water temp is 27, and 8-10 tbsp if the temp is lower. i dont have a heater so the temp is around 25 ish, i dun have any meds either. so how much salt do i need and what else i can do except buying meds and heater?

Sounds like your in trouble, i think you should get a heater and raise the temp to around 27-28. Put a new post in Tropical Fish Emergencies forum give the specs of your tank size, filtration, fishes ect im sure someone will help you out. Good luck Ivor
