I suggest Metronidazole. Clout can also work (do not use clout with
silver fish such as Silver Dollars, Tinfoil Barbs)
A new organic treatment is Usnic acid found in Usnea Lichen. A lot of
of human studies show similar but better results to Metronidazole. My
own studies are on going, but have been good, especially in some
wasting away bacterial diseases.

I also have had Quick Cure or similar products work too.
