NewFishMom Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Hi! My husband and I are treating for fin rot, because I new something was off, but someone mentioned Colomarius, and I looked it up, and that explains everything. But now I feel guilty for being wrong, and am not sure which meds to use. Some people say one thing, and others say another thing.. Please help! I want to be a good fish mom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyO Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 (edited) When reading the Co op blogs aquarium salt is usually a go to for lots of illnesses and Maracyn also possibly even Ich-X. As far as dosing that I can't help with other then follow the instructions on the box. Hopefully someone chimes in on the dosing/dosage part. You know what just get the Trio meds and the salt and call it done. Doesn't hurt to treat for everything as this point.

Colu Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 (edited) Maracyn treats gram positive bacterial the most affective treatment against columnaris are antibiotics that treat gram negative bacterial infection maracyn 2 API furan 2 and kanaplex you can use maracyn and maracyn2 together it is highly infectious disease so make sure you disinfect your nets and equipment so you don't spread it to other tanks Edited March 17, 2021 by Colu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBStevens Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I JUST got on the other side of a columnaris infection. On day 3 now of no new dead fish (it was coming every 12 hours or so a new dead fish would show up.) I followed the guide on fishlab.com and dosed furan-2 + kanaplex. https://fishlab.com/columnaris/ Best of luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
