Norms advice helped me save the last of my breeding stock! It wiped through most everything before I was finally able to correctly identify and treat it. Now I know what to look for in the unlucky event that Im faced with columnaris again. I had quarantined, salted, and started a popularly recommended med trio- everything youre "supposed" to do when acquiring new fish and still ended up with this. Now I follow Norms quarantine procedures (another video).
I had 2 perfectly healthy tanks before purchasing fish from petco. They wiped 2 of my tanks leaving me 3 sirviors in my big >>wiped from ick and possible columnaris
Thank you so much for all this information! It would be really helpful if you could add a list all of the meds discussed in the description or a pinned comment.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I thought I'm gonna cry coz my betta got a white patch on his left side. He's good community boi along with my recently treated from ich fat cardinal tetras. The fact that my betta is born with a white upper lip got me also paranoid if I won't able to spot one of the symptoms.
The betta I bought from Thailand came sick. I put him in a 1 gallon bowl with 1 tablespoon of salt. I added Ick X and dosed API Fin and tail. Within 1 day, the fish was very active and looked great. I kept him in the hospital bowl for 7 days. Changing 30% of water and made sure I kept the salt at same level of 1 tablespoon per gallon.
Great video!!! Thank you very much for this information and help on this matter! Great advice and thanks again for sharing...keep up the awesome work! Always a follower...
Yeah, I lost a fish because I think that my dog scared off the postlady. She brought me the package a day past delivery date, and looked shocked/acted defensive when I said ``oh goody my fish;'' she said ``dead fish?'' I said ``no, live fish.'' She: ``they should tell us;'' I pointed out that it said all over the box, ``live fish.'' Postlady at this point shrugged shoulders. But I then recalled my dog had ran down the driveway, barking, the previous day. Murphy's Law; our dog isn't vicious; he's never stopped anyone actually approaching before. Usually they know to stop and let him sniff them, and then everything's cool.
Just lost all of my male guppies in 2 different tanks. Glad I found this video. I've been treating woth maracyn but ill switch meds tomorrow when I can get some sulfaplex. Thanks Norm!
Thank you so much for this information! A few months ago I got my first beta, and I quickly got SUPER attached to him, and all was well until about two weeks ago, when he started looking sick as though he had fin rot, but it didn't seem right. After watching this while desperately trying to figure out what was wrong with my little buddy, I realized it was columnaris, got some sulfaplex, and although he's definitely not cured, he's beginning to look a little healthier!!!
I want to say - With my very first ever experience with Columnaris - my fish, all/none of them, had a single solitary symotom. They just. Started. DYING. By the "end" of the first bout, which was just 4½ days mind you, I'd lost 28 fish. Sudden inexplicable deaths was actually the symptom that I had, to go on and diagnose. So it absolutely can be in your tank(s) and the cause of the problems happening, even without being seen / noticed!
thank you for the video... very informative. I have 13 tanks and I noticed what looks like the symptoms at various stages in a few of my tanks. Not sure How it got into any of the tanks, but I believe its spreading because I've re-planted live plants from one tank to another. I've tried many of the other suggested treatments: ie furan-2 and kanaplex which seems to work for a while, but its seems to come back after a few months. I'll try your method on my 50 gallon tank that has my colony of gold sailfin mollies.... Keep my fingers crossed.
Thank you so much for the information. I was confused looking around online and couldn’t find an exact match, but after watching this it’s pretty clear that columnaris has been wiping out my guppies. I just bought a hospital tank and am going to follow your suggestions for treatment.
Very straightforward explanation ❤ could you make a video too about fish tb? I've did some research and i figured that there's a lot different opinion regarding it.
Thank you for the informative video.I have had a fish started flashing (she was pregnant back then) and one day,I noticed white single dot on her tail and she was not acting normal and I tried EM powder which made her develop red patch, tried ich med , I tried paraguard... I tried general cure... it did not help and passed.In the video, you said you notice white patch but if it were single dot that would not multiply dot over days but fish acting strange;not engaging with other fish or spend time near the top (not gasping air) and no appetite..,what would that be?I do not think she had swollen gill either. I have not figured out what it was .If it were ich,it would be more than 1 dot and should see more white dot on the fish but it was not like that so,it still is mystery to me.
Good advice, Norman. What concentration of aquarium salt would you recommend? When using amoxycillin, how much to use per litre? You say 500mg per day but we all have different sized tanks. Thanks.
@@majorbruster5916 aquarium salt has to be what is advised on the packaging - not a grain more. The 500mg has to be given per day c regardless of tank size. It’s the amount required to kill off the bacteria.
So right , fish are pumped into this country to make $'s , they don't care what they put them through in the process as long as they make that sale . Fish are pets, with all the proper care I surely do hope we can eventually bring back the strong stress free guppies not prone to columnaris to our aquariums :)
Just lost about 250 fish in 17 tanks in 3 days time. Did the meds and salt, added air stones but couldn't get the antibiotics in time. Did this to all 20 and at least saved 3 tanks so far... that could change. I think I cross contaminated them by using the Python hose and jay hook and it moved extremely fast. Sad. My questions are and I'm not being facetious... !. How do you nuke and scrub your plants? I don't understand how you can do it? and 2. Should I dip my Python jay hook and hose in bleach or vinegar and then clean it off with clean water before putting it into the next tank to be siphoned? Thanks for your help because its been a hard 3 days.
Smaller plants are hard to do every leaf, you can take the time and rub each one between your fingers with warm water and vinegar or use the plant decontamination method in the video we have for it. The idea to dip your Python in vinegar is one I would do for. Sorry it’s been tough, it’s the worse disease I’ve ever had to deal with.
@@cookiesfishroom I watched the plant decontamination video and it is very helpful. I'll look more into the vinegar dip for the Python. I am not looking forward to dipping the Python or a pump I'm getting to siphon the water out. The pump makes it quicker to get the water out. I'll do it though because I love my guppies. Sad I've lost so many nice fish that I've worked on for a long time. Thanks for your help.
This information has been super helpful. Thank you. I have 2 guppies in a 10 gallon and one of them has white patches and rotten tail. The other one doesn’t show much symptoms yet but she is lethargic and the gills look brown. Should i treat them in the same main tank or do i need to do a hospital tank. It is a relatively new aquarium. The cycle is still running.
Pls help. I watched both Columnaris videos. My fish is showing like his mouth is rotting. No patches anywhere else. No ammonia no nitrites. Nitrate 20. Low pH and low kH. It’s a low pH tank. German blue ram. Is it possible that it has first effected the mouth and nowhere else?
Thanks, Norm! I have been using sulfaplex in my main tank. I took out the 3 rainbows that had it bad. Tried maracyn before I saw your vid. I am afraid to use salt because of cories. The other fish seem okay. Everyone isceating and acting normal. One of my angels has a few white spots on pectoral fins. They seem to be going away. Any other advice?
Hi. I got a betta (my first fish) early Jan. He had a silver spot at the base of his dorsal fin and silver at the base of his tail and dorsal fin going up into the fin. I thought this was just his colouring. He isn't really exhibiting any of the symptoms you are describing (he is dark red so its hard to tell if his gills are damaged) but the silver spot is getting bigger. Would this still be columnaris?
Lost 3 Cardinal Tetra in last 70 hrs Quick update.. Used 3 capsules of Amoxicillin 500mg in to 200Ltr tank and on 17th Aug then after 24hrs 18 Aug same dose. So far there is no death and seems like columnaris spread has at least slowed down a lot! Today i will be doing 50% water change and re dose accordingly. I have managed to get my hands on some Tetracycline 250mg as back up… Oh dropping few degrees temperature definitely helps..
It’s my pleasure, the APi aquarium salt instructions recommend 1 tablespoon per 5 gallons. I start with 1 per 10 and up it to full amount if no improvement is being seen.
Great Vid Norman! Good to see some local Aussie content :) Would something like BluePlanet Aquari Cycline which contains tetracycline work? Although I think it only contains 375g per tablet. Also does it matter on the Litres of water?
Hey Brother, I want to firstly say thanks you!! Thank you for the insight and wisdom you are sharing with us! Secondly, I have a question or two to ask of you and your wisdom. What would you do or suggest if I seem to be dealing with Columnaris, not once or twice, but a third or fourth time? Then also add, I can not simply restart a tank or utilize a medical tank. What I have is what I have, so how would I proceed with treatment? Thank you for your time, and I sincerely wish you the best!
If you’re dealing with columnaris that many times, I recommend nuking your tank, then temporarily placing fish in a bucket, when done, refill with no ornaments, plants or substrate and put fish back in. Then do a fish in cycle.
best info so far, btw if my tank have this columnaris, can cherry shrimp become carrier of this disease ? coz i want to place the cherry shrimps to other tank, since i want to use acriflavine that can kill shrimp, one of the med available in my country
I notice that you mentioned about bent spine. May i know if it is really TB that i have experience in one of my guppy strain? Because they are really active just like some of my healthy fish and i dont see any symtom fo disease in them besides the bent spine.
@@cookiesfishroom it doesn't have lesions at all. What i observed is 60% of the batch of fry when they grow they will have bent spine. May i know why i experiencing this in my guppies?
@@desertfreshwaterfish1572 there could be a number of reasons for this. Anywhere from lack of vitamins and minerals, inbreeding, damage done during birth, stress, water parameters to lack of light to the fry’s spine.
Not necessarily, because it’s a bacteria that doesn’t always have symptoms you can’t trust a lack of symptoms. Once it’s active in your tank, you need to treat it that tank.
The fish did pass and I've been keeping an eye on the rest of the tank and doing maintenance . I am hoping I moved it on time or it was sick when I got it and I didn't notice

It’s likely elsewhere is affected, you just can’t see it. It’s not always visible.
Hi Norm, how much aquarium salt do we add? Cheers
Muracyn 2 looks like it's good for gram negative. Do you have any knowledge if that would be effective?
Via my testing with it, the columnaris bacteria is way too strong for it and you need a higher strength medication as mentioned in the video
