Sorry for the long delay for an update. I did do ten days of Furan 2. The outer signs of the issue got better but belly remained bloated. The fish started constantly gasping at the surface despite good water conditions. It turned upside down and continued gasping. I euthanized it with clove...

Also using triple sulfa antibiotic for 8 days. Also started adding Pimafix to avoid secondary fungal infection that I got with the last fish.

Update after two courses of antibiotics. In the first days of treatment the affected area got dark. Unfortunately the area on the top of the fish in front of the dorsal fin is now a red sore. This is the same are that the previous sick fish's sore started. After reading many threads here...

I'm fairly new to this but did have a similar issue about a month after I first stocked my tank. After a small initial ammonia spike followed by a long and high nitrite spike. I lost one fish before I realized the danger of the nitrite situation. I did a 35% water change every day for about...

Thanks everyone. Unfortunately he died yesterday. Thankfully none of my other fish have any issues. It does leave my other Boesemani Rainbow alone though. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I have other rainbows in the tank but he is now the only Boesemani and is quite a bit larger than...

Thanks everyone. I live in a relatively rural area but am headed to Portland today where I'll get a broad spectrum antibiotic. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

They are in chronological order. First two are from the 16th last two from the 23rd after a week on anti fungal treatment. Seems like there was a secondary fungal infection on the ulcer. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Still treating with api fungus cure and tetra lifeguard. No noticeable change better or worse. After reading a bunch of threads here I thought it could be columnaris. But could that affect only one fish? It's been six weeks since the first symptoms. Thanks. Sent from my SCH-I545 using...

I have a Boesemani Rainbow that has been sick for over a month and I have been trying to treat it for over four weeks. My tank is a 29 gallon tank that has been up and running for almost a year. There are two Boesemani Rainbows, two Dwarf Neon Rainbows, two Turquoise rainbows, six Glass...
