Katherine Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 The fish in the center (the least blurry one) appears to have some white fuzz attached to it's mouth/chin. A few of the other danios look like they may have some on their lips too, but this one is the worst. Possibly breathing a little heavy, but all have been active and eating. Tank parameters: 73-74 F depending on the thermometer. Testing with coop strips Ammonia: 0ppm Nitrate: 25ppm Nitrite: 0ppm GH: over 300ppm KH: 60-80ppm PH: 6.6-6.8 These have been stable pretty much since setup. Meds on hand are Ich-X, Fritz ParaCleanse, and Fritz Maracyn. These guys were just added to my display tank on August 17th and underwent a full month of QT with the med trio at the start, no signs of illness during that time. I have such a hard time trying to Google fish illnesses. What do you guys think this is and how should I treat it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quikv6 Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Looks to me like columnaris, in the form of mouth rot. Two fish in the pic look to have it. I have had success with Triple Sulfa, though it isn't available anymore. You can try Seachem's Sulfaplex, though I have no experience with it. Another option is Kanaplex+Jungle Fungus Fizz tabs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Possible columnaris the most effective treatment I have found is a combination of kanaplex and jungle fungus clear fizz tab's containing nitrofurazone together following this treatment plan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
