Can i treat my fish for Fungus and Ich at the same time?
My 55 gallon tank is almost cleared of ICH but not quite. I have only spotted two small white dots on two separate fish (each has one). The problem is that one of the fish that has the white dot has a cottony growth on it also and may be showing signs of hemorrhagic septicemia. I already lost a fish due to tail rot
I am treating with
quick Cure (main ingredients Formalin, Malachite Green)
the fungus clears main ingredietns are nitrofurazone, furazolidone, Potassium, dichromate.
I have been treating my tank for over a week as it came out quick and covered my tank. I do not plan on buying any different meds as I have a ton of different ICH treatments and really need to just stick to the course. My tank is currently 86 degrees also with only quick cure in it if you do not count the remnants of Maracyn
Oh yeah and I bought a bad fish my tank levels have been zero across the board and my tank was cycled completely
Thank you
I understand that the medications treat different problems I am wondering if I can add the fungus meds before the ick clears completely as it may be gone and I am mistaking fungus as ich possibly

Adding Fungus Clear would be a total waste of time and money-- Quick Cure is extremely effective at treating fungus as well as Ich. I have seen fungus disappear within 2-3 days of using it in many cases (Ich will take much longer due to its life cycle). There are no interactions between the ingredients of Fungus Clear and Quick Cure, but the cocktail of drugs would almost certainly crash the fish's kidneys.
