JohnnySLC Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I'm new to aquariums and new to this forum and let me just say how hard it is to get clear pictures of fish that won't hold still. I think I now have 40 blurry pictures of this fish. OK, this guppy just started showing some irregular white discoloration yesterday and it seems to be getting worse. I can't tell if it's something growing on the scales or not but you can judge from the pictures. Any help would be appreciated.

Colu Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 (edited) It looks like columnaris which is a gram negative bacterial infection I would treat with maracyn2 or kanaplex both treat gram negative bacterial infection it is highly infectious so make sure you disinfect nets and equipment so you don't spread it to other tanks Edited March 12, 2021 by Colu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnySLC Posted March 12, 2021 Author Share Posted March 12, 2021 Thanks for the info. I'm setting up a quarantine/hospital tank so I can treat it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I would recommend treating all the fish in your main tank As it highly contagious they could all ready be infected and not showing symptoms yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
