    Untreatable Columnaris

    in Diseases

    Posted · Edited by LCRYAN

    I have uncontrollable columnaris in my 55 and 10 g tank. I have lost 5 balloon mollies 😞 I have 1 adult balloon molly left and today her eyes are swollen. I have 7 regular mollies that have scale loss and grey discoloration on the saddle but do not seem to be dropping at the same rate. Kanaplex did not work. Ick x did not work. Jungle fungal clear did not work. Salt is not working. Metroplex did not work. I tried polyguard…it did not work. I am now trying furan fish food flakes and that’s when I noticed my balloons eyes popping waaaay out. I feel like I’m over medicating these fish at this rate. I have been at this for over a month with death after death. I’m starting to wonder if it’s time to euthanize them 😞 I don’t know if I can morally do it when I see many still have fight…but they always seem to have fight until one day they just sit at the bottom and slowly suffer…What would you do ??? 😞 I am so sad.

    I have two fry who were born into that tank. They are in a 5 g and at this time they seem to thrive and not be affected. 

    At my wits end :(

    My tanks have been running for over 3 months. They have no real plants but are extremely low stocked. I have 7 mollies in a 55g. 5 neons and a snail in a 20. And two mollies in a 10g. 

    I do also have 2 fry in a 5 g for safety 

    All of my tanks are cleaned weekly and they all have one of two pre seeded sponges from Angels Plus that have kept ammonia and nitrite at 0.

    I just lost the girl today 😞 she def had dropsy. Their is something horribly wrong in my 55g and 10g and I’m really freaking out.

    At my wits end :(

    I use de chlorinator and I do water changes weekly. I have cycled sponges in all of them (multiple in each tank) which keeps ammonia and nitrite at bay. I got pre seeded sponges from Angels Plus. When I didn’t have seeded sponges  in, everything would spike. But, when I put them in, it all went to zero and now I never ever see nitrate. Does anyone know what that’s all about?

    At my wits end :(

    Please help me ! I can not figure out what I’m dealing with illness wise. I had to euthanize two very sick fish with clove oil (one had what looked like a yeast infection all over its fins and body. He was also turning white. He lost complete motor control over his body and looked to be seizing hard every 2 min. while breathing rapidly. He also seemed to be losing scales in back of his head/top back.) the other fish (had white fungus all on its lips and down its throat). I have another fish (female) who is clamping her tail and is hiding/listless. A little bit of redness on gills. She’s also staying by the heater a lot of the time. She is only interested in eating. 

    I have 7 fish who were exposed to whatever this is in a 55 g. And 3 exposed to this in a 10 g.
     

    the only one at this time who’s showing real signs of illness is the female in the 10g with two friends.
     

    Both tanks: ammonia 0, nitrite 0, nitrate 0, 7 ph, hard water

    temp is about 81-82 degrees 

    I think I’m dealing with a very slow slow slow killing columnaris but I could be very wrong.

    right now I’m using kanaplex and jungle fungle clear which has furan in it (unfortunately furan2 is no longer available)

    Help! My fish got trapped in or behind pre filter sponge

    Day 2 was meant to say October 19 (that’s a typo) she’s still alive today on day 4. Will give you guys an update after water change, medicine change and feeding
