Calzone said:In my experience columnaris shows as a white patch on the back under the fin, one of its common names is saddleback. It apparently comes in more than one strain, most have very high mortality and dont necessarily give the saddleback, but when I've had it the saddleback version has had mortality around 30%. Pimafix and melafix are the only things I've used.

somethingfishy said:saying that more crypts, anubias and echinodorus i think are the right way to go as i seem to be getting some growth and healthy looking plants with them so far.
somethingfishy said:Have learnt not to put any anubias high up in my tank as the just attract hair algae but not when i put them at the base?
Brother,...you should have seen ME planting my first 2 footer. Sweating,....and panting,.. clumsy fingers and all,..... It gets easier with each new try or tank. You pant less,...sweat less,...fingers still clumsy but managable.somethingfishy said:... wish i could master the tweesers, seriously funny how bad i am with them.
