White Eyes After Salting - Columnaris/Flexibacter

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Help!! I treated the three treatments with API Fungus Cure and my Arowana definitely cleared up from what you saw in that previous picture, but it did not go away completely. I noticed today that my Azul peacock looks like he now has the same thing. I am getting worried. Is there another course of treatment I should be doing? Here are the pictures.
 
I ordered a pond medication with formalin and malachite green. Hopefully this will work for good.
 
have you treated for external parasites? A lot what I am seeing looks like excessive mucus production

I have not tried I don't believe for that yet. So Fungus Cure seems to have made a difference, but like you said that mucus or what I think is fungus keeps coming back. I have tried .5-1% salt, Pimafix/Melafix combo, and Mardel Quick Cure.
 
Bottom line is that the mucus or white eyes keep coming back. The rock bass that I lost with this stuff a few years ago was covered in stringy growths that moved with the water and at the end of them they had a bulbous end. Almost like tear drops covering him.
 
This is still an issue in my tank. I don't observe quite as much currently as before, but my aro still has some spots and white film on his eyes. I treated yesterday with Mardel Clout and dosed again tonight. I want to treat now for external parasites, but I would like to cool down on the amount I have to spend on meds hopefully. Clout was pretty cheap off Amazon. Any other suggestions?
