Guppy disease

[snowyangel]

I believe one of my guppy tanks has the bacterial infection called guppy disease. It's killing at very fast rates(7 guppies in one week). Now I've always kept really clean tanks(2 water changes weekly on all my tanks), water tests done weekly (for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, ph, hardness, alkalinity) with no problems, so i"m pretty sure this was introduced by new live plants I recently purchased. I've been doing daily 50% water changes on the infected tank along with salt and Melafix(to treat the wounds). The guppies suffer from fin and tail rot, ulceration to the body(which looks like white patches on the skin), and loss of appetite. I have a million meds, but non specifically for this.

If anybody has encountered this or knows a cure please respond as this is truely heartbreaking for me and my generations of fry I've raised to adulthood.
Thanks

Okay well I guess It's bye bye gups. Today I'm gonna waste some money on meds and see if it helps.
