    Hi everyone.

    Came home and noticed one of my fish acting a bit strange.
    On a closer look, I found something growing on it:(

    About an hour later he/she was dead.

    Any idea what this is? Should I be treating the water with something specific?
    I have another 3 fish in there that seem perfectly fine....for now.

    Please help. Was really crap to see the fish suffer.

    Thanks so much.

    Looks like some sort of fungal infection.

    To me it doesn’t look like columnaris but more fungal, like @Reedfish said. I’m no disease expert though
