So about a week ago my Midas got an injury on his lips and it looks like it had healed up but now it looks like he has Columnaris. I have always heard its usually fatal but has anyone had any success in treating it?

Ouch, hope that you can bring him around, and it IS treatable.

If your temp is above 82F, you need to get it down. Columnaris is most virulent above 82.
In the higher temps, the bacterial population increases exponentially. Under 82 its reproduction is slowed down.

Yeah it sucks but I wasn't that attached to him. If I had gotten him younger I probably would have been more attached. After I lost him, my Syn took over and killed one of the female Midas.
