I have off and on had a problem w/ what I call 'wasting' disease in the past. The fish will become emaciated w/ sunken bellies. They will still swim actively and eat right up until they die. It seems to be self limited as one or two will be afflicted, but the rest of the tank remains unharmed. I have never been able to pin a name on the condition, and various meds have not helped. Sounds a lot like Tuberculosis, but no spine deformities and it seems to be a slower process (several weeks to a month). Can anybody help me put a name to this? I just lost a rainbow shark and it seems that my krebinsis may have the beginning of the disease. And if you have a name, do you have a cure? It's a 55 gallon planted tank.
