Aquarium Advice FINatic
Hi All,
I just finished treating my tank for fin rot because my GBRs that had it. I did a full dose of Furan-2 in my community tank because I don't have a quarantine tank. As I was in the 3rd day of treatment, I noticed one of my kuhli's had some fuzzy looking patches on his skin, looked a lot like what people describe as columnaris. I finished the Furan-2 and the patches have gotten a little smaller but are still visible....is it possible that my loach developed columnaris while I was treating with Furan-2?? I thought Furan-2 was supposed to cure gram-negative bacteria like columnaris so maybe that's not what the kuhli has but I am concerned.
My ultimate question is, should I do another treatment of Furan-2 even though I just did one? Or is there another disease that can show up as fuzzy white patches on the skin? No other fish have any symptoms it's just the one kuhli right now.
