One of my mollies is fuzzy and is missing some scales. I stuck him in the 10 gal I set up - it's a pretty new tank so I'm not sure he'll even survive the water change but I wanted to get him OUT of my big tank as soon as possible. I have "Fungus Clear" Which recommends I remove my carbon. I haven't used the tablets yet - he's just in the tank with some salt at about 75 degrees.

I put some salt in my 29 as a preventative measure (and cleaned the tank). Is there anything else I should do?

Also, if he DOES die, what should I do to make the 10 gal "safe" again for putting other fish in? I don't want them to get fungus/bacteria because there was a sick fish previously in the tank.

ALSO the "Fungus Clear" can be used for hemorrhagic septicemia - which my gourami may have. Should I put the gourami in with the mollie and risk him possibly getting the fungus stuff too? heeeelp!
 
It would be wise to go ahead and treat them together,this way your gourami doesn't advance a week or so into his illness before he gets treatment.

Salt and a water change was good for your 29. Is your ten gallon kept cycled? If not, I would just tear it down and wash everything with salt and hot water after you are done treating. I hope the meds work for you :thumbs:
