so I am still fighting colomnarus in the 20g with my husband's 5 platy that remain. All 5 are eating , however 1 has a grey splot on it's side. I have been medicating with KanaPlex for seems like weeks. I swear ( or I am going nuts) that the grey splotch on this one platy is getting smaller. Doing vacuums and wc's weekly. Anything I have been using for this tank does not get near the other tanks.

So my question is should I cull this one fish ?
I really want to give him a chance since he is eating , but I am not sure keeping him in there is helping the situation. I has assumed they would all succumb to this , but the other 4 are not showing signs. Thanks,

if you only have the 5 fish in there I would leave them all together. If the thing gets bigger, then I would cull all of them, as I presume the others would have this illness as well. sorry for this news. cheers jk.
PS I would then keep the tank empty of fish for 4-6weeks and do water changes etc and slowly add fish after this time. thks jk :thumbup:

Agree, let things roll along as you are going. Fingers are all crossed for you. You have had an absolute hell of a time with this.
