Unhappy Help please!! fish fungus.

hi all. i recently bought a beautiful starlight bristlenose plec at 4-5'' for £4.50. the person in the shop told me she was that much. im sure she's worth more. but now after 1 day. i noticed some stuff (white tufts that look like mould) on her underbelly fins and her mouth sides. (excuse the un-scientific terms). i think it's fungus. she has a bit of fin rot too so i think the shop did not look after her well. i thought she would be ok but it got worse. i have been using melafix for the past week for my cory's fins which are getting better but hers i see no change. the only other treatment i have that claims to heal fungus is methylene blue.

should i leave her in this tank and see how she goes or set up my 12 litre tank and put her in there with methylene blue for a few days? or is there anything else i can do? what will this fungus do? will she die?

Please. i need fast help. im starting to get so worried i think i'll be sick.

thanks.
Dan.
