dont look good looks like my little devil that past away
 
Hmm - what have you been treating with? And what's the temp?
 
Sorry - re-read what you were treating with... what's the temp? And there's usually not much you can do unfortunately.
 
66 degrees Farenheit?

That is not Columnaris. It is a severe fungal infection. Go to the drug store & get some Mecurochrome (in a tiny brown bottle). Pull the fish out of the water & while it's in the net (do not touch the fish with your hands!), swab the wound with it. It will stain the wound orange.
 
See what they're substituting it with. My stepdaughter just got something similar & it cleared up her fish's fungus right away.
 
Is Columnaris not a fungal infection?
 
OK, just spoke to my stepdaughter (woke her up) & she said it's called :Curechoime, a mercury-free replacement.
