Help with new Kelberi?

[Rebel Souljah]

Thank you all for the replies. Tank size they are in right now is only a 100 gallon long. This is my quarantine tank for atleast 2 weeks before they go in my new 300 gallon wide tank. Yes, I have tried feeding smaller guppies, and they wont even touch them. They are in pretty bad shape! When I first got them in, both of them had torn fins and some white patches on them. Now one has a really bad tail with some sort of fungus growing on it. Anyone have any idea what it is??? My water temperature is at 82F, pH at 7.0, water is medium hard, 0 nitrates, and very low nitrites. What medication should I use for the white fungus???

THATS A BIG NO NO!!!! bump up to 88F and add 1 tablespoon of salt per 5gallons and throw in some hiding places!!!

Dom, when they were here, their tank temp is in the 86F-88F range. There were eating small and medium goldfish/minow(sp?) feeders. Guppies could be way too small for them to be interested. Adding salt as recommended will help them with recovering from the shipping stress. Here's a picture of their condition, before they were individually bagged and shipped out.

Make sure you provide a lot of dissolve oxygen when you raise your tank temperature.
