Rozski Posted October 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 Losses in my big tank yesterday were 1 cardinal, and the other cardinal that I put in my nano with the rummies that was showing the saddleback. From the 10 rummies (5 by the time I put them in the nano) there is one lonely one left swimming around the nano. His remaining 4 mates expired yesterday. This one had no signs this morning. Maybe I have 1 super-immune rummy. Or he'll be dead when I get home :roll: Big tank had no fish with visible signs this morning, so hopefully its slowing down. Will see when I get home.

Caper Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 I am sorry for all your troubles and losses. How did you determine it is columnaris ? Caper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rozski Posted October 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 Thanks Caper Some of the fish developed that pale saddle-back lesion that I think is only seen with columnaris. I theived this photo from iisfaq (thread further down the Disease forum page) That top left one is a perfect example Last Rummy died this morning, he didn't show any signs. Lost 2 cardinals yesterday in my main tank, but none today so far. And my Dwarf Flags decided now would be a great time to spawn lol. Currently guarding eggs at one end of the tank :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon1990 Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 Umm :-? :oops: After seeing that picture, i think that my 'neon tetra disease' that i had last year was actually columnaris. That would probably explain why i lost my guppies and a BN :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rozski Posted October 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 Have you had any problems since then? Did you restock your neons? Just thinking ahead to when I'll want to restock... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 Have you had any problems since then? Did you restock your neons? Just thinking ahead to when I'll want to restock... Where did the cardinals come from, i lost 10 a month or so ago to, did not cause problems with any other fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had problems keeping neons, cardinals and other small tetras for a while, seems to be all good now, the only thing killing off the cardinals in that tank is the angels that are going soon :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caper Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 From the pics you posted, I thought that was neon tetra disease??? Caper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rozski Posted October 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 not to my knowledge, and I thought cardinals didn't get neon tetra disease? And not when Rummies get exactly the same lesions. One more cardinal missing this morning. Dwarfs still happily fanning eggs lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
