Columnaris is a bacteria that looks like white fungus on the fish. Usually when people try treating fish for fin rot or mouth fungus and the fish die anyway, it actually was columnaris. Its a tricky bacteria, but its already starting to clear up with two days of treatment. I really do have to get hold of a good camera and get pics of everybody.

Yep, anybody can get it, there are very few diseases that only one type of fish can get.
