Columnarus

Hi guys, I've been reading up for daysto try and find out what my heavily pregnant guppy has.
Think I have finally found out though but just wondering if I am correct. She discovered a sort of bleached layer just beneath her skin. It is a huge white patch. And she has been lopsided and lazy just stuck at one corner of the tank at the bottom sometimes vertical. It only appeared yesterday morning and overnight she suddenly passed away! I need help to try and figure out if I have correctly diagnosed her problem!

What did u diagnose her with.?

I think it may be columnarus, That's what the symptoms show. Could be stress with moving her from the store to the tank And with her being pregnant but I am not entirely sure! I'll upload some pictures on here when I'm on the computer!

It doesn't sound like columnaris to me; that normally looks fluffy or cotton wool-y, like a fungus.

You'll see how it looks when I put a picture up in a little while. I cant think what it could be. It came and took her away all in one day. And the other heavily pregnant fish in our nursery tank are all fine and dandy!

You need to upload them to a hosting site like Flickr or Photobucket first
