If you have the capability to rescue them, I deffinately would. Those fish deserve a better home than what they have now. I don't know if hith can be cured when it is that severe, but I have heard some say that it can be cured from minor cases. Regardless, you would have to dose aquarium salt for who knows how long to reverse its progress. I would still get them though. It would be a good feeling knowing you rescued those fish from a bad home.

That one really looks like he needs euthinized. He looks terrible,..all rotted & eatin away and what not.

The one is deffinately worth saving imo, the worse one I guess you would have to observe and see how badly it is being affected by the sickness.
i'd take them anyway and try to cure it, its not like your paying for the fish so you could spend some money on meds
If they are still eating its worth a shot. But I have seen oscars with that bad HITH that would no longer eat, then they get weaker and weaker.
