Columnaris)Cotton Wool Disease- This is highly contagious caused by a bacterium. It spreads through the water and can be transferred by nets and other aquarium equipment. The bacteria enters the fish's body, especially via wounds and small abrasions. They then multiply quickly to produce the characteristic symptoms. This is very widespread in freshwater fish, especially livebearers. Symptoms- A grayish white film develops over the fish's skin, particularly on the head region, but also on fins, gills and body. The fish could have sore(s) that are red on the outside and white on the inside. As the disease progresses, the body may become ulcerated, fins frayed, and the lips and front of the head can be eaten away. Treatment- This disease is very virulent and must be treated immediately. Fish that are affected around the mouth may die within 24 hours. Antibacterial compounds are effective. The best way to avoid the disease is to keep your fish in clean, healthy conditions and add a small quantity of salt to the water.
