Elyse Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Hey everyone, I just moved a few days ago so the fish are stressed. I noticed on several of the neon rainbows mouths that they have white patches or thickenings? Still eating and active. I've seen something similar on banded rainbows I bought and put in quarantine several months ago and it went away with maracyn. Does anyone know what it is / should I treat with maracyn again?

Colu Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Could be the start of mouth rot that can be associated with columnaris that a gram negative bacterial infections that spreads more quickly at temperatures over 75 and can kill in 24hr to 7 days depending on the stain I can't say for sure it's columnaris I would treat with a broad spectrum antibiotic such kanaplex if you notice them get worse than I would treat with kanaplex and jungal fungus clear fizz tabs containing nitrofurazone following this treatment plan @Elyse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elyse Posted November 2, 2023 Author Share Posted November 2, 2023 Sounds good; I think I'm going to have to treat all of my tanks. There was definitely some cross contamination during the move. A banded rainbow in a different tank has the class saddle back patch appearing. 😥 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only place I could find it was on amazon and it won't be here until November 8th. I don't want to wait that long to start treatment so I think I'll start a round of just kanaplex and see how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do a round of kanaplex and then give us an update I would only treat your other tanks if your seeing any symptoms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elyse Posted November 10, 2023 Author Share Posted November 10, 2023 Okay so I finished the last dose of kanaplex two days ago. the 75 gallon looks much better; i lost one panda cory day 1 and one siamese algae eater looked shaky with sores on his back but he looks much better now. I don't see any signs of disease on any fish now but wondering if i should still do another round of antibiotics just to be safe i'm definitely doing another round of antibiotics for the 55 gallon tank; I've lost 3 neon rainbows; the sterbai corys and geophagus look good and are eating well; the remaining rainbows are active, schooling and eating well but...it's hard to tell but i think i still see some white areas around a couple of their bottom jaws. What do we think... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
