Hi,
There was an outbreak of columnaris in my tank last week. I lost all of my java loaches pretty suddenly and three of my cory catfish. I have dosed my 37 gallon tank with 20 mL of 3% hydrogen peroxide solution as well 1 tbls of aquarium salt per five gallons. Before adding the peroxide yesterday afternoon, I took out my filter media and put it in a ziploc plastic bag. Since I added the peroxide, the fish have lost the fungus-like stuff growing on them and have become more active. I am wondering how I should proceed - should I do water changes and re-add the peroxide, re-add the salt? when do I add the filter media back? when will I know the coast is clear?
In my tank I currently have
4 or so juvenile neon swordtails
5 neon tetras (one has a whitish look to him)
4 bronze cory catfish (some are juveniles)
1 bolivian ram
Thank you for all your help.
EDIT: I have been doing 50% water changes a lot this week. I did one 50% change before I added the hydrogen peroxide.
