Columnaris

[Gen120]

Anyone here have experience with it? I have 10+ years of fish keeping and have never had this problem. From my research on this it looks like that what my fish/tank has which isn't good. I ordered the treatment kanaplex and API furun 2 but it won't come until Monday and Thursday. I'm worried about my fish, they seem fine but I lost 3 dwarf neon rainbowfish a while back and they had the symptoms of this but I didn't connect the dots until the other day.

Columnaris is a beast.

I’ve only once ever had an outbreak, from a fish I bought online and didn’t quarantine. Lesson learned. An expensive one. I’ve 40 years of aquarium experience. Crap happens. Don’t feel bad. Here’s the treatment I followed:

Thank you! I did some research in the meantime and ordered aquarium/fish safe sulfa antibiotics which should be here today and brightwell bacteria to add back in when I finish treatment because I also have a live planted tank.
