Flexibacter

[tsunderl]

Well, I'm still losing fish. Lost two sailfin mollies this morning and a dalmation mollie the day before. Water tests are fine still... 0,0,7.6.... Fish are all active and eating, then suddenly die.

Did some research and I'm wondering if this is the culprit. http://www.aquatic-hobbyist.com/profiles/disease/freshwater/columnaris.html

Has anybody experienced flexibacter?

Not to get too graphic, but the ones that have died have had a whitish cottonlike substance on them, like in these pics... http://www.flippersandfins.net/flexibacter.htm

I've thought it was part of the breakdown process, but now I'm thinking this may be what is taking my fish. I'm going to get some medicated food and water additive and cross my fingers. Don't think it will hurt at this point, but I'm hoping it helps.

Sorry to hear you are losing fish. Hope you can figure out what it is! Good luck!

[tsunderl]

Thanks RN. I hope so too. Just got back from LFS with four different meds. One should do the trick!!! If not, I'll be adding fish to my Christmas wish list. http://www.pushupstairs.com/images/emoticon/extra3/Animation1.gif

Holy crap....there is a million of them! But how do u post them....sorry.....

[rolloffhill]

Same way you link a photobucket picture, but you have to right click on the smiley, copy the "properties" then use the "[img]" attachment picture and paste the properties in there.

[tsunderl]

Um, I just right click over the smiley, copy, then paste in my message. I don't need no stinkin "properties" and the "" attachment thingamerbobber. [IMG]http://www.pushupstairs.com/images/emoticon/extra3/wipeglasses.gif

Oh, the smileys on that site change often. Even cooler!

[bra8ndy8]

I'm not that computer smart.....so.......you lost me!! I see when I right click on it....and there is properties....and then I'm lost!

You can't link an image from your computer, you must have saved it first.

Just do what T said it will work that way too..

Right click over smiley.... choose "copy"..... Go back to message.... Make sure your curser (the blinking bar thingie), is where you want to place the smiley.... Right click and choose "paste". http://www.pushupstairs.com/images/emoticon/extra3/dancing222.gif

Brandy click this link http://www.pushupstairs.com/images/emoticon/eviewer.php?category=extra3 then right click the emoticon, then copy, then paste it HERE on this forum.

Don't try to do it to emoticons that you have saved on your computer, it will NEVER work.

or a thread hijacked.....................HOW ARE THE FISHIES......

[tsunderl]

Thanks for getting us back on track, Joel. No floating fishies this morning!!! Hopefully one of those meds is doing the trick.

[bra8ndy8]

That's good to hear!!

[biggin]

That’s good, hopefully a sign of things to come.

[tsunderl]

No floaters since Sunday, so I'm declaring the tank clear of any and all bad things that were in it!!!! Looks like most of my fry are gone and the tank is pretty bare. Kinda sad.

[rolloffhill]

:clap:

[bra8ndy8]

I'm sorry....but at least you figured it out!! I am pretty proud of you!!! WTG!!!

[tsunderl]

http://www.pushupstairs.com/images/emoticon/extra3/bow.gif Thanks y'all! I'm pretty proud of myself too! They are much more active than they were and eating like hogs instead of pigs! I noticed today their fins are looking much better. Heck, I thought it was the rams chomping on them. Yes, I apologized.... http://www.pushupstairs.com/images/emoticon/extra3/shy.gif

[ElijahTurtle]

[bra8ndy8]
