Regular Member Blackmoorbob Posted October 26, 2019 Regular Member Share Posted October 26, 2019 I need help identifying the problem to properly treat it. Here’s a picture. It’s not flat nor completely fuzzy. I thought it was fungal so I started using pimafix but now I’m afraid it could be columnaris because of the appearance of the saddleback patch 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Blackmoorbob Posted October 26, 2019 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 26, 2019 Make sure to change the video quality to see a better video! 480p and then restart video https://youtu.be/4-Zk0l6J9_o I'm still working on answering the list. Just thought to show the video first meanwhile. Thanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks thank you. does this fish usually remain pinned to the surface of the water? looks to me that the exposed parts is where the problem is. it also looks like the left side of body, the scales might be starting to lift. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helper Arctic Mama Posted October 27, 2019 Helper Share Posted October 27, 2019 We would need more information to help - definitely answer the questionnaire and Helen’s question. Particularly - how long have all livestock been in the tank? If nobody new has come in during the last three months it wouldn’t be columnaris 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
