Mouth rot, treatment options

[Sac39051]

I just got a shipment of rainbows in from wet spot, all appeared healthy until today and I noticed a few of them possibly have mouth rot.

I am currently treating the tank for ich with heat and salt which appears to have been effective but only on day 6.

How should I go about treating the rot issue? I’m hesitant to try melafix with the current elevated heat and salt. Never experienced rot, is there a chance the heat and salt will take care of it?

Salt and clean water (low nitrates) should work. Would wait before trying meds after the ich treatment if still not better can try a triple sulfa. Works well for fin rot.

It’s an antibiotic and ur lfs should have it. If not then order online.
