Aquarium Advice Regular
I've read through the other threads about columnaris.
My question is, however:
I'm taking all my fish out of my main planted tank, including my corys (fingers crossed I can catch them quickly enough without stressing them). I am then going to do a major vac of the gravel, stirring up who knows what.
Then I'm dropping the temp (or just turning off the heater) and putting in a heap of salt (never did this too much because of my corys).
Anything else I can do to reduce this bug in my tank? I don't really want to cycle my tank all over again as the beneficial bacteria have been doing their job nicely. Yet my guppies keep getting sick and I don't know what else to do.
Parameters have been perfect every time I test (once sometimes twice a week).
I'm trying not to break down the tank and start from scratch
