Hey guys,
hope you're all well.
Im a long time reader of this forum but this is my first post. We have had Ned for 7 months now and have recently had a lot of trouble keeping his temperature down. We noticed yesterday that he had small cottony white balls in his gills. After reading up on this we believe it to be columnaris but we could be wrong. As I'm sure many of you know that the main source of info for axies is the Internet and so we got googling. So far we have given him 1 salt bath and kept him in the fridge I guess we are just looking for some advice. There are a lot of contradictions on the web so it's diffcult to know what to do! We have read that salt baths are good and should be for 10 mins, salt baths should be for no more than 3 minutes, salt baths are bad and barbaric, salt baths are useless for columnaris, we should use mecurochrome, we shouldn't use mercurochrome etc etc. Any advice would be greatly received.
Thanks
