AAP Recommends out in depth and often plagiarized article about treating Columnaris in fish
www.americanaquariumproducts.com/Columnaris.html
Here is an excerpt:
PLEASE NOTE some treatments are not currently available due to a USA Federal executive action (2021), HOWEVER from my decades of experience and research, if you follow steps 1-3 exactly, mild cases can and have been cured without step four, and even with moderate cases, a less effective treatment such as Doxycycline can and will work if these first three steps are followed precisely.
Many fish diseases, it should be noted, are caused by different bacterial or fungal pathogens that often exhibit similar symptoms, so identification of a specific bacterial or fungal pathogen is not often possible from mere visual inspection of the symptoms on the fish.
BEST: By using broad-spectrum treatments such as a Nitrofurazone (AAP Yellow Powder Blend or less effective Furan Two) & Kanaplex/Kanamycin COMBINATION against diseases with similar symptoms affecting fish, precise identification of specific bacterial or fungal pathogens causing the disease that often display similar symptoms may not be absolutely necessary.
AAP has the strongest available Nitrofurazone blend which when combined with AAP/SeaChem Kanaplex is the strongest possible medication treatment for Columnaris. "
AND:
"PLEASE NOTE, that the use of Nitrofurazone combined with Kanamyacin along with fish baths and the four step program was first explored by the author, Carl Strohmeyer in the 1980s and first posted on the Internet in 2005 by him.
