Last week I bought a fw dolphin and I made the mistake of not qting it. It died of ich and what appears to be some sort of fungus but I'm not sure. Well, now my other fish have it including my gatf. What's the best med to treat this? I already raised the temp and added salt. My goonch has it as well but it doesn't look like it's going to make it.

Yesterday he was acting extremely sporadic swimming all over the place and crashing into the walls. Today it looked like this

I tried with the goonch last night but it still died a few hours ago :( That dolphin definitely brought something into the tank cuz I've never had fish go from super healthy to deteriorating so fast before my eyes. The gatf's fins are slowly tearing up as I'm watching him and he hasn't rubbed against anything or swam into anything at all. He's just hovering there looking like sh*t.

This sucks dude :( you gotta QT them even if it's in a tank that's small for them and you have to do a lot of PWCs. I hope it survives

Ya. I'm gonna do that with everything from now on. I set up a 29g that I was gonna move the ATF in but I'm still waiting for the water to heat up. I think its gonna die before its ready. In 2 days, I lost a dolphin, 2 geos, goonch and soon an ATF all bc of not qting.

Geez man, having some bad luck ... sorry to hear bro, really sucks ... i'd suggest heat, salt, and cranking up the current if the tank doesnt have a lot already

Ya so far this year has not been good for me fish wise. The past 7 years I've had no problems, nothings died, nothing's gotten sick and all of a sudden all these fish are randomly dying or getting sick and dying. I'm really annoyed by this.

Man that sucks. Hopefully he somehow comes through for you. Definitely crank the temps up to 86 or so for the ich and make sure you have tons of added oxygen to compensate for the higher temps. Salt always helps too.

Thanks man but he already died. He was suddenly unable to swim and was blown all over the place cuz of the flow then stopped breathing.
