AAP Recommends our updated Fungus/Saprolegnia article:
www.americanaquariumproducts.com/Columnaris.html#fungus
Here is an excerpt:
"Treatment
Sometimes treatment of Fungus/Saprolegnia is somewhat similar to Columnaris, although Saprolegnia responds well to these chemical remedies that are not generally effective for Columnaris (as well as a few antibiotic/organic remedies):
Malachite Green or Methylene Blue can be effective (although Methylene Blue is best used in a bath). Either can be combined with Nirofurazone and/or Sulfas for often a very effective effective treatment (Malachite Green at 1/2 dose with sensitive fish or full dose with strong fish is generally the better choice to combine in a main or hospital aquarium/tank).
In fact an excellent choice for this combination would be "AAP Nitrofuracin Green" which can be an excellent fungal treatment that alsois wide spectrum for other issues, including bacteria and external parasites (such as Ich)"
