OK, I've been searching old threads and it appears I have columnaris in my 38 gallon. First noticed one of my brilliant rasboras with his mouth "decaying" so to speak. I thought it might be an injury but then I noticed one of my neons with the same symptoms. I'm starting to panick a bit here. The tank is about 9 months old, planted.
Here are the tank mates:
2 Bosemani Rainbows
3 B Rasboras
5 Neons
2 Corys
2 Oto
1 CAE
8 Haliquin Rasboras
1. What do I do? Does this stuff spread rapidly? Should I start an aggressive action with some sort of antibiotic?
2. Should I take out the filter media so the bio filter doesn't get impacted if I do the antibiotic treatment?
3. Lowering the temp was also recommended. Any other tips?
Thanks!
