Yes. Waiting on water to be COLD enough to do one... ya.

78 degrees is as cold as it gets. Sadly. I use a fan, gets is to 75 in an hour or so, @Tony s. I am worried, I do not want another one to die..... Then i would have only 4.😥

@Colu's recipe for columnaris. I have an angel with possibly the same issue. but on her mouth and spitting food out. Think I'm using this

eek! that's just so weird to me. My water comes out 38 degrees year-round. I never ever thought about what most of you guys have to deal with

If you have aquarium salt, you might want to dose it. It should help some. Up 1 tablespoon for 5 gallons. Plants won't like it, but should recover

Ok. So 1 tablespoon, per 5 US  gallons? Ok i will thank you @Tony s!!

Yes.

I added salt today

Np I understand!

I would say your deal with fungal infection or saprolegniasis that's a water mould I would treat with ick X and a low dose of aquarium salt 1 table spoon for 5 gallons

So no jungle clear fizz tabs or kanaplex? @Colu

I would treat with the salt and ick X if after 5 days your seeing no improvement then I would do a course of jungal fungus clear fizz tabs containing nitrofurazone

Follow the directions on the packet. I believe.  Helps it keep its strength 

Hard to understand, it does not say when to do it or how long…. Thoughts?? He is looking worse. One eye is a little swollen now…… 😔 pics of him. He might not make it. He looks worse.

I’d keep the full dose going. And it’s probably going to get worse before it gets better. Meds take a bit to build up but the disease is going strong before we see it 

He passed earlier today.. 😭😢Other 4 don’t move around as much. Think they’re a lil stressed…. Since 2 died. Going to buy more ASAP. It was to late when I noticed. He had it off both sides when I found him lying there🙁
