lmhicks101 Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 (edited) I just found out I have a break out of Columnaris in my tank. Unfortunately all I have is salt, Maracyn 1, paracleanse, and ich-x. I’m running to the store to get the garlic stuff for taste, KanaPlex, Maracyn-2, and Furan-2 tomorrow. Is there anything else I need to get? Edited November 28, 2021 by lmhicks101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXInkedPhoenixX Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 You may not be able to find Furan2 anywhere. I read on the forum that it was discontinued or no longer available due to some FDA snafu. Here is the thread, someone suggested a replacement: What is going on!?” HOWEVER: The active ingredient in Furan IS Nitrofurazone....Hikari, a trusted brand makes BiFuran which contains that active ingredient and may be a good alternative. The other med mentioned in the thread says they could find it at walmart. In my fishy first aid I have Super Ick, Ich-X, Kanaplex, Tetra Lifeguard, Furan2 (what's left of it thankfully I orderd a 3 pack and only used part of a box, expires in 2023), Maracyn, Maracyn2, API General Cure, Paraguard, Para-Cleanse, Expel-P and Aquarium salt! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmhicks101 Posted November 28, 2021 Author Share Posted November 28, 2021 Well that sucks. I appreciate that. What’s the differences between some of the meds like super ick vs ich-x or paracleanse vs paraguard vs expel-P and is general cure worth it?

xXInkedPhoenixX Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 I just switched to Ich-X cause everyone here seems to like it. I've successfully treated Ich with both API Super Ick and Paraguard. So just pick one. Go with paracleanse, I think it's stronger than Paraguard I only got it because I was treating Otos and I was worried for them. Expel P is a dewormer (for your wild caught fish or other ? bugs) General cure has some ingredients that others don't metronidazole, praziquantel, and treats parasites, velvet, hole in the head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmhicks101 Posted November 28, 2021 Author Share Posted November 28, 2021 Gotcha. I was looking up tetra lifeguard and damn that’s some strong stuff. I wonder if it would be safe for Kuhlis. Technically Kuhlis have scales but they’re just small as hell yet most consider them scaleless for medications sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXInkedPhoenixX Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Yeah that's kind of my, I have no idea what's going on bomb. It's not a go to and I've not used it yet (plus not invert safe per the manufacturer). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmhicks101 Posted November 28, 2021 Author Share Posted November 28, 2021 Good to know. I’ll grab some of that while I’m at it. I hope I can find the BiFuran tomorrow as I’ve never heard of jungle before and don’t trust it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
