Body has so white slime but I see that the finnages are slightly burnt/melted.

Any advice to share guys?
Sorry for the typo. I mean "the body has no white slime..."

Sometimes is matter of luck. Of course unless one could provide prefect condition. I have using same method to QT my AA with furan2. 1st batch didn't survive 3rd week and 2nd batch is already at 3rd with full strength . Same method same supplier but different out come. And yesterday I jus top up another 5 more pcs for me 2 months is the brench mark so call stable . Gd luck!

I have observed 2way best to acclimised n prevent deadly columnaris attack without using medication.1st is using really low ph blow 4 for the first arrival.2nd using constant drip method 24/7 daily with clean aged water if u want to keep it in higher ph above 6.

Extremely low ph like 3.5 and salt works for me.
