I just purchased my creamsicle molly two days ago, and ever since I got it, it looks like it's head has been dusted with pollen.

I'm really at the end of my rope with this disease. Ever since I got my 36 gallon tank in January 2008, I've had 6 different groups of fish that I've introduced to the tank, all because ich has killed each of the previous schools. Every time I get new fish, a few months go by and then I have an...
