mate...i am so sorry to hear that,sounds really strange to be attacking 1 particular type of plec...you haven't added any new wood or anything like that?..
i know u don't do small tanks,so im guessing its a large tank..but i would be considering a complete strip and restart of the tank...its gonna be the only way to ensure there is nothing nasty lurking in there..imo that is..i am totally gutted for you bud
Dude. I have only just found this thread:wb::wb::wb:.
OMG. Is my Pesueda ok???
Hope you get it sorted mate
Cheers

~~(He couldnt have been in the tank for more than a few hours mate??
thegeeman
he was in there for less than 2 days
it was when i was looking for him that i noticed the really bad L200, then i treated with meth blue.
i have 2 L075, 2 L065 and the 330 left.
i've so far lost 1x 8" L075, 6x L200 from 4 to 6" and the 8" L024, no more losses for 30hrs now so am starting to feel a little more hopeful

Oh no, so sorry for your losses. :rip:
Hope you're at the end of it.
It sounds like columnaris rather than fungus, often accompanies by septacaemia/internal infection. It can wipe out a tank so fast. Can lie dormant for ages too until something triggers it - stress, temp change etc. I just lost a 5" Oscar within 24 hours to it following his move from grow out tank to 6ft tank.
Treatment I've used is a course of Myxazin followed by a course of Interpet anti internal bacteria.
Antibiotics are recommended but not so easy to get hold of here in the UK.

fairly sure it wasn't columnaris, all seem to be much better now, although i think i'm left with an internal parasite issue now (stringy white poo from somewhere), i'm going to treat for this next week, then everything should be back to normal, touch wood
