update:things are better!
I ended up running the carbon because I really felt it was the formalin in the Rid ick that was doing her in. I also made aa booboo that seemed to have actually help, I went to turn the heater down a tiny bit but must have bumped it the wrong way in the process because yesterday morning the tank temp was 92! So I lowered the temp over 14 hours back to to 87 and they seem just fine. I also got another heater and removed the male to my 6 gallon and am watching both closely. So far no more spots have appeared on either one and now that she is able to eat and not hide all the time her color and energy is returning.
I have ordered a Uv sterilizer from dr. fosters as I think it will be a good thing to have on hand for issues like this and the fungus/bacteria that attacked my gourami so quickly.
Now I am just keeping my fingers crossed that things will keep improving and I can go back to having an easier time of fishkeeping!
