Columnaris Infections

If you loose all your fish to this but have a planted tank with shrimp what would be the recommended treatment? Will these parasites die if there is no host after a certain time or do you have to treat for it. Are these meds safe for plants?

What is the dosage used for oxytetraciclyn? I´m using a bird med that combines oxytretraciclyn and sulfonamide. It´s very useful because it´s a liquid apresentation so easier to dose.

Slightly different then standard tetracycline. I get Tetramycin (oxytetracycline) from a feed & grain store in the ranch meds aisle. Before I found the capsules, I used the ophthalmic ointment, which is more readily available, and wiped it onto the affected areas of the fish (instead of dipping the fish in a bath).

lol oddball uses horse med,s to treat his fish!
