  1. I've just come back from a thread from like 2008 saying that Wunder Tonic can treat columnaris, as well as Furan-2. I already have Wunder Tonic and already used it and it didn't help my fish, but I am pretty sure they have columnaris so I assume applying the tonic topically like mentioned would help better since it's direct? If so, do you just put one drop on each side affected on the fish? I have neon tetras if that's any help. So I don't think I can use salt for them? I didn't want to risk it since I am unsure. I can get the Furan-2 if that's going to be better, but unfortunately I don't have a lot of money right now so it'd have to wait about 2 weeks which isn't ideal since I have already had fish die (I have been on a wild goose chase and fish stores have wrongly diagnosed and prescribed medications that haven't worked, I have tried 5 different ones so far!!) so if I can avoid spending anymore money then I'd like to :( Thank you :)
  2. Heya, yeah I ended up switching over to Wunder Tonic after the other didn't work but I left them a few days in between just in case. I'm stuck on this one too though, Wunder make their directions painfully vague. It says to add 1ml per 20 liters which I've done, then a 25% water change and 1ml per 30 liters on day three then on day 7 do anther 25% change and add carbon to remove extra medication. But I have no idea what to do between days 3-7 Sorry for the chopping and changing I had a bit of trouble getting hold of my local fish shop guy
  3. Heya, I have 10 neon tetras right now but recently added 11 more and a few of them started to show up signs of illness. I haven't been able to find a match online but there was large white/greyish patches on some of their bodies, fins a little bit grey on the end, and one looked to have the start of cotton mouth. So I have put them into quarantine and my local fish shop guy (whom I bought the fish off) told me to use white spot cure on them and hat should clear it up, it's not ich but we couldn't figure out what was wrong since they were healthy one day then like this the next. They were in quarantine for about 2 days before I started medication just to make sure they're alright, and I started just this morning going off what the bottle says, 1mL per 20L of water. It then says to do the same the next day and on the third day do 1mL per 40L. My question is, do I stop after the third day? It seems like not a very long time for a course of medication but I can't find any info anywhere else. Thank you so much
