Phillip Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Does anyone have any idea what these white spots are? The fish have all been in this tank for several months. I just noticed the spots the other day.

Colu Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 (edited) That looks like Columnaris I would treat with kanaplex and jungal fungas clear fizz tabs containing nitrofurazone together following this treatment schedule it can spread very quickly so you want to start treatment as soon as possible Edited April 28, 2022 by Colu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quikv6 Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Columnaris is very treatable. I would follow Colu's rec above. I have treated it successfully that way (using Furan 2 instead of Jungle fizz when it was available). I have also used API Triple Sulfa a couple of times when the above rec wasn't successful. I would get on the treatment sooner than later. I had one case of Columnaris develop into mouth rot, and although I was lucky and able to save the fish, her mouth is permanently deformed and she can only eat certain foods, with a level of difficulty.
