Oz, I think it's our Aussie climate. I have not added new fish for over
a year and about 6 weeks ago developed the same sort of symptoms you
describe and I also put it down to Columnaris.

Excuse me for my ignorance if it shows but are your homes air
conditioned in Australia? In Canada, if the temp gets to 30C plus for
weeks on end most have air conditioners installed to keep it at
22-25C.

All the best,
