hello all,
i am currently trying to treat my betta for columnaris, he has the chronic strain. I started out with seachem sulfaplex but that didn't help. I am now trying to treat with amoxicillin, he has had 4 doages of this but it is not seeming to help him at all and he is getting worse.
The only other things I have to try and treat are Api triple sulfa Maracyn 1 and 2 and Api fin qnd body cure I am in the uk so can't get anything else quickly for him.
He is in a 30 litre planted, filtered and heated tank. His temp is at 26 degrees i have not lowered or increased it as scared too.
My ph is 7.4, GH 8, KH is 4. Normally I have no amonia or nitrate and keep nitrates at around 20.
The amoxicillin is killing the bacteria in the tank so daily 10 litre water changes along with using prime to lock the amonia.
Billy my betta is only 1 year old, I bought him from a UK breeder. He has always been healthy and I'm heart broken to see him like this.
Anything at all that anyone can advise me to do would be so much appreciated and welcomed.
