    Can anyone help to identify what is wrong with my apistogramma?

    Google columnaris saddleback presentation. If the symptoms match you need to jump onto it with Seachem Kanaplex as in yesterday.

    Hope it isn’t because it kills and spreads fast

    Can you post a video.

    Is it struggling to breathe?

    Do you have a quarantine tank to treat it in?

    I dosed some Kanaplex. He is still alive today. Doesn't seem to be struggling to breathe. I'll post a video once the lights come on.

    I've lost him. The rest of the fish in the tank seems fine. Will be dosing Paraguard just to make sure.

    I’m sorry to hear :(. Just be sure to give the 2nd Kanaplex dose also in case you haven’t yet.
