Two Sick Fish In Two Weeks

[Mikaila31]

About 2 1/2 weeks ago one of my rumy-nosed tetras developed Columnaris i was treated in a quarintine tank and got better quickly. I thought it was because my filter was over due for a cleaning the nitrates had got a little higher than normal.
Then a few days after the rummy-nose had been cleared from quarintine one of my black fin corys became very sick. He has been in quarintine for about 7 days now. One of his eyes got cloudy and all his wiskers where gone and soon after quaitining him one of his eyes started bulging out the other one is fine. I treated him for the cloudy eye with a bacterial med. During that treatment he developed fungus around his eyes and along his side and one of his fins his fins has red lines in it. Right now i'm treating him with a fungus and bacteria med, but he's not looking good .

And just today i noticed one of my neons has one eye bulging out. I don't know if it's from an injury or not.
water stats:
Nitrate-30-35ppm
nitirte-0
ammonia-0
ph-7.4

You have quite a few bacterial infections there, cloudy eye is a symtom of a desease rather than a desease in itself, the cory if he has lost his barbels dosn't sound to hopeful for him as that what they find there food with.
Popeye is bacterial as well.
What bacterial med are you using for the columnaris.

I used a med by aquarium pharmaceuticals called E.M. tables, their active ingredient is erythromyic. The rummy had only a pin-head sized spot of columnaris and it was cleared up in a few days. I used the same med to treat the cory but it didn't do much. The neon is still acting normal and schooling with the others. He probably has a bacteria infection too. But he is the smallest fish in the tank so it possible that my big boeseami rainbow could of taken a swipe at him.

Ok, it it possible to issolate the cory as he could do with being on the med longer to stand a chance, does it say in the instructions how much it knocks your bacteria colony in the filter.

Sadly the cory passed away . He was in the quarintine tank and the med only affected baterical colonies in saltwater tanks. The med didn't seem to do anything ecept turn the water bright green.
