Blackmoorbob 0 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blackmoorbob 0 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arctic Mama 3,626 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
