It seems that there's no medication that people agree on for columnaris. After a few failed treatments I picked what the majority of people in aquarist forums seem to recommend, which was maracyn, which is the same thing as ethromycin. Ive been treating for parasites up until this point, I'm trying a fungal and bacterial infection medicine now, I've already started the treatment and it cost me quite a bit, so I'm sure you'll understand that I'm going to finish it and see if it helps. I've spent so much money on different treatments for these random and mysterious diseases that everyone disagrees on not just what it is but how to treat it. It's turning out to be very confusing and expensive. Though I do really appreciate all of the help and advice I've been receiving from people, hopefully we can properly identify what my problems have been and then determine what I should do.
I've seriously tried everything, and I'm not even sure what they have at this point. If the problems I'm having are the same disease or different problems that keep recurring, im not sure.
