Planted tanks seem to cause a HUGE problem for many fish issues IMO.
The largest is keepers care more about plants then their fish!
You got to decide for yourself what you value more ,no sin on which side you fall,but good luck with treatments sometimes!
On the bright side PP(potassium permagante) is a commonly used plant disinfectant!
If you can't find meds on line and are interested in PP I have some to sell and many links on it's use along with a thread that could use some updating?
I cured columnaris (the 24 hour your dead strain) with PP and this is why I have it and have researched it so much.
I am sorry to tell ALL of you who have cured this issue that MANY links suggest(strongly) never having these fish in a community setting as they may be "in active carriers".
This is the case of MOST bacterial issues in all honesty though!
This;
You may medicate a beloved sick fish if you wish, but don't return to a community aquarium a fish that has "recovered" from symptoms of bacterial disease once its outward symptoms have been alleviated. "Dropsy" is a case in point. Sometimes a fish recovers enough from a bout of severe ascites to lead an outwardly-normal life. Then the "cured" fish is returned to the community aquarium, where it may become a sub-clinical carrier of bacteria, free of visible symptoms. A sub-clinical carrier remains a source of infection for all your other fish. When it dies quietly among the plants, a couple of months after the episode of "dropsy," the two events may not seem connected. Initial quarantine, even a full four weeks' time, may not be long enough to identify weakened fish that are bacterial carriers before they enter your system. It's quite probable that all your fish have already been exposed to a variety of bacteria that could be pathogenic, given the right circumstances

Just a mention and not actually set in stone.
Although two betta may still seem uninfected IMO they are as all others are/were?
If they are not infected then they have a stronf=ger immune system then the others IMO but still could be host to the infection.

If I read/interpret it correctly ,not weeks,but forever!English bandit!
So if a fish has recovered from a bacterial infection they can still carry it weeks after recovery?

They get reintroduced with 0 signs of issue, but still carry the issue. Illnesses can be carried and spread by a living thing that never affects the carrier itself.

Should I unplug my heater if they love heat?
