One of my praecox has so cotton like growth on his mouth, no hair like projections and he is still schooling so I thought mild columnaris and treated the tank with pimafix for a week, reduced temp and feeding, no change.
So yesterday I found jbl furanol 2, did a 50% pwc dosed with api salt, api stress coat and tetra plant plantamin. Still no change in his cotton beard or behaviour (well they are all acting starved)
pH is ~8.1, ammonia 0, nitrite 0, nitrate ~0 temp is 27.1
My problem is the praecox I thought might be full of eggs, then after reading thought might have internal columnaris. She/he was bloated between and just behind her pec fins. She's now at the bottom of the tank nose down doing loop the loops and cork screws, slightly less swollen, gills possibly red.
I have several smaller fish in the tank, if it were a toxin wouldn't they be sick or dead too?
What can I do for her?
