I have a lot of problems in my tank right now. Ok, one of my fish (a Cremecicle Lyretail Molly) has Ich. I have medicine, so I'll give her that. It's weird because it keeps coming back! One day, she'll have it, and the other day, she won't. Is it ok to treat the whole tank? There are 2 other fish that have Ich spots, and the biggest hospitable tank I currently have is a 2.5 gallon tank. The Molly is atleast 2 inches, and the other 2 are an inch each. I can't fit all of them in there, right?
Also, one of my fish (another Molly) lost her eye in early January. I treated her for infection and she seemed fine. Now, her gills are all puffy and they go out far enough for me to see red. Any ideas on what that is?
Lastly, a guppy I have is acting stressed. She hangs out by the filter intake tube and just sits there. I looked at her, and she has red streaks on her! Also, her Gravid spot is completely red. She gave birth 1 week ago. I have Melafix, Maracyn, Maracide, and Melafix, so if any of those help, tell me! Oh, and if I have to use a hospitable tank, I have a 2.5 and a 1 gallon tank. Sorry for the bombardment if questions!
 
Hey mate,

OK if one of your fish has visable white spot / ich. Then you need to treat the whole tank as they will all have it :)

You need to treat fast with this aswell so that you can save them all :good:

Sounds like your Molly is Pine coning, Just do a little google on it, and confirm for me, Or bang some pictures up on here and we can have a look :)

If i were you, I would treat for Ich/WhiteSpot and i would also treat with Melafix aswell to try and help the others.

Hope this helps.


On another note, Is your tank cycled... How long has it been running? Whats your setup :)
 
Ok, I'll start the Ich treatment right away. I googled pine coning, and I'm not sure that that is it because it's not the scales that puff out it's the actual gill. Is that still pine coning? Also, do you think maybe it has to do with the missing eye? I'll try to get some pictures, but it might be hard because it's only when she breathes when she shows it. Ok, I'll try that one. Do you have any ideas on what my guppy may have? She seems to be getting worse and I was thinking it may be worms or something like that.

My tank has been cycled for a while. About a year. I have 4 Cremecicle Mollies, 3 Danios (I'm trying to get more), 4 Cory Cats, a Clown Loach, 2 Guppies (1 male, 1 female), a breeding chamber with a few baby guppies in it, and I think that's it. They're all in a 10 gallon tank. It's a bit crowded :blush: but I do all the water changes, and I keep up the maintenance.

Thanks for responding!
 
Sadly, my guppy died today :(:(

Now all I'm wondering about is the molly...
