Medicinal Help!

ok before i start wafling i will give som sort of a background

i had used a myaxin medicine from water life about a month ago and for some reason it killed off five of my bp tetras,i swore i wouldnt use it again, i recently introduced some mollies into the same tank and they had little whits spots which look like a bacterial infection, i passed it of as some sort of marking but now it has spread to my honeys gouramis fins i dont have picture but it looks like the specs seen before finrot,
i couldnt resist giving the medicine one more try.......
it says it treats all sorts of bacterial infections so i am hopeful it will work....
the stats are fine i think it came in with the mollies

the issue is am i to trust this medicine as it killed five of my fish ( not proven but probable ) im quite worried as one of my mollies is pregnant will the fry be ok if the mother is being medicated with a medicine that says irritant on the side?

um fish in the tank are 3 x honey gouramis
3 x black mollies
4 x small bn plecos
2 x bp tetras
3 x small khuli loaches

I always use Melafix, it was recommended to me and I wouldnt use anything else now for bacterial infections, clears it up quick and never lost any fish with it.

I think he's talking about Myxazin, right?

The little white spots you're describing sound more like Ich than bacterical tbh - though i'm no expert... Though if they were fluffy they could be fungus...

I think you should try and get a pic up here and wait until you get more replies before you add the Myxazin if you had a bad experience with it last time - maybe you dosed it wrong?

Wrong dosage or out of date meds can have adverse effects.

I've always used Myxazin and found it to be an excellent medication and never had any deaths from using it - quite the opposite - I found it treated/helped to cure the fish very quickly.

Also, if your fish disease was misdiagnosed and you were treating with the wrong type of medication then that could be why your fish died.

Pics would be helpful - as would your water stats if you have them.

I agree with athena.
If the spots are the size of a grain of salt it whitespot.
Any signs of flicking and rubbing.

Just to add i'm using Myxazin at the moment with no adverse effects, all fish are fine, in fact, it may not be doing enough, but that may not be the medications fault.

If you follow wilders instructions, she'll get to the bottom of it for you

Yeah, this is important to remember -- medicine doesn't last forever, has an expiration date like pretty much everything else.
