I wanted to get advice on treatment. I went to do my weekly waterchanges today and noticed that Frost has pop eye and the start of columnaris. I caught both of them very early. I know he was fine yesterday. I went out to get treatments but Petco was closed. I got Jungle Fungus Clear from Walmart in addition to plain epsom salt and aquarium salt. My question is what should I treat first. I was thinking the columnaris. I don't know what treatment for columnaris to start with. I also have to treat him in his 5 gallon tank. I've never dealt with anything other than finrot. Advice would be much appreciated!
I filled out the questionaire but I'm pretty positive about what he has.
