Is it fuzzyish white stuff? If so pimafix might be better. Or to be on the safe side both. Hope it gets better

The true test of character is not how much we know how to do, but how we behave when we dont know what to do.

It should be fine, just add it where there is water movement as the guppies like to bite at it as it enters the tank. I'd go with pimafix myself too.

Is there redness on the fin, or near the base of the fin? any other fish ill or dead in the last 2 weeks?

i added the melafix, and no one told me before to half dose so ive full dosed for 2 days and no problems with the fry.no redness on body or base just white patches. ordinarily since the fish are feeders i will destroy the infected fish but since she is about to have fry i want them so they will grow for my oscar.
