Piggy Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 I am 99% sure one of my tanks has columnaris. I bought some harlequin rasboras and didn't think twice when one of them appeared to have a tiny patch of white on its lips. After last weeks hot weather I lost a couple of them, then my german blue ram and this morning my gold ram. I have 4 young electric blue rams, rummy nose and 3 rasboras left. The fish that died were breathing very hard and the rasboras looked swollen. All stopped eating and went very quiet for a few hours before dieing. Can someone please tell me the best treatment as I really would not like to loose any more fish. All water parameters are fine, no ammonia, nitrates, nitrites, PH is 7.4. Thank you for any help.

Daharkazangel Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 With last weeks hot weather........did you add extra air? Got 39 here, hot water carriers alot less oxygen. Sure your not the only one that lost fish last week, thank god for air con LOL. Got tp your LPS and see if you can get some meds, how old is the tank setup??

Piggy Posted December 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Thanks for the reply, and yes I added extra air. Tank is about 3 weeks old but I used filter media from another aged tank, and 1/2 the water was aged. Tank temp peaked at 30 on Tuesday afternoon. The rams were completely non fazed by the temps but I have lost two in the last three days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daharkazangel Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Hmmmm, tank may not be fully cycled, even with a seeded filter. Others will help with what meds to use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piggy Posted December 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 (edited) Thanks, I decided to call a friend and asked him. I hate harassing him over fish stuff but decided it was worth being annoying He advised me to use Triple sulfur. Said the white lips was a dead give away. Many thanks for the help, I appreciate it.
