Fish Folk Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 So sorry to hear! Furan is one treatment. Here’s a write up about it… https://www.fishlore.com/aquariumfishforum/threads/columnaris-symptoms-and-treatment.263058/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 To treat columnaris you will need to treat with kanaplex and API furan2 together they make a more powerful antibiotic treatment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colu Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Columnaris caused internal and external bacterial infection the medication you have won't be very affective at treat the internal bacterial infection if you can't get kanaplex or furan2 I would treat with maracyn2 or API fin and body cure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colu Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Melafix will have no effect on columnaris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbie Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 I’d suggest avoiding melafix for bettas, I’m not sure the specifics but I’ve heard it can cause issues for their labyrinth organ. What country are you in? That’ll help us offer you the correct medications, because different places have access to different things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
