I urgently need help with ich

The natural water temperature is ok unless you want to get a chiller. I just meant don't artificially keep it at 30 for ich now we think that is less likely. Ice bags create pockets of cool water which can shock fish so are not recommended.
The bent spine might just be the angle of the photo but if it is visible to the naked eye it could be as a consequence of pregnancy (common in guppies). Worse case scenario is fish TB which would infect the other fish. Let's hope not.
I hope your fish do well.

Thanks for the reply...
Ok, I ll not use ice water bags and keep using the natural municipality water...
the spine looks bent to me but it looks similar for all the female guppies....Unfortunately, the one that wasn't moving yesterday died today.....I didn;t expect that....I don't know what was it that killed her...around 40% of the fish tht I get frm the local pet stores die within 2-3 days....idk y....
Luckily the 3 othr female guppies looks healthy to me....
P.S. the barb still has some whote spots around the same part .....I have stopped all the treatment....I m jus doin water changes...Please lemme know if I cud do somethin else too....

hello guys,
ummm.....so I hv got a female guppy problem.....
So, here's a lil timeline of wht happened....I bought 4 female guppies frm the store on the sunday mornin....as soon as I got home one of em inside the bag wasn't movin...she was breathin tho....I acclimated em, put em into the tank....the othr 3 were doin f9 but that one wasnt movin n jus layin at the top of the tank...she died within like 12 hrs.....the othr 3 were doin f9 the ntire day but today mornin whn I woke up I saw one of em already died n the othr 2 ain't movin n jus layin at the top...they all hv lost their tail colors...n their tail seems a lil ripped too....
This mostly happens happens...nearly 50-60% of the fish I buy die within 2-3 days of I buyin em.....n the rest r still alive....what do u guys assume is going wrong? Is their somethin wrong at my side or the stores r keepin em in bad condition?
P.S. the barbs still hv the white spots but he is actin normal...I m doin water changes daily....and I m not treating the tank anymore

It's hard to say but since they were dying in the bag I'd guess they were weak stock. I don't recommend buying anymore fish for a month as we need to see if the barbs are OK now, or not.
Start a new thread in 'Tropical Fish Emergencies' for help with the two surviving female guppies.
