This bacteria will infect the entire system. You could QT this fish and treat it seperatly but I would still treat the main tank too.
So if the other fish are seeing no signs of illness should I still do another water change and treat the big tank ?
Unfortunatly the disease is highly contagious. Cool water will retard the spread of the disease and will give the meds a chance, this is a quick killer and by the time the symptoms show the outcome is often fatal. There are several meds that can deal with this Triple sulfa is the most effective at higher Ph levels. Furan 2 is the most effective at lower Ph levels and used in combination with Kenamycin is especially effective. Use the 3X sulfa with the salt and keep the water between 72-75 degrees.
OK so should I do a 50 % water change again and then treat with both salt and sulfa right now?
