About a month or two ago I introduced some bait shop fish to my tank and they ended up having columnaris. They all died within three days and that was the end of it. None of my other fish developed the disease so I didn't dose. Now I converted the tank to (mostly) southeast asian tank so it has 3 gouramis (2 pearl and 1 gold) 8 rasboras, 2 yoyo loaches and 3 siamese algae eaters. The last fish is the only fish I didn't get rid of from my previous stock and that is a small Nicaraguan Cichlid. It is about 3" and doesn't bother anyone expect occasionally the gouramis if they enter its territory (which is almost never because it patrols the bottom and the gouramis patrol the top) It is not going to be a permanent resident. ANYWAYS...........................
Everything was going fine until I noticed one rasbora acting strange and upon closer examination it started showing the same symptoms as the bait fish so I knew it contracted columnaris, more than a month after the bait fish left the tank! I noticed this at night. By the morning the rasbora was dead. I quickly took it out and ran to the store to buy Furan 2 to treat the whole tank. I have never used it before so I bought one box but that is not enough to treat a 55 gallon so I'm doing half the dose. I'm on day 2 at this point. HOWEVER today one of my other rasboras has ICH!!! UGH! At this point I don't know what to prioritize.
I have some left of super ich cure, can this be safely combined with Furan 2? If not what is the best course of action to take to save all my fish. Please help!
