Sorry but if it has redding at the tail septicemia has now kicked in, yes the desease lives in your tank, all it takes is a desease fish to higher th levels of bacteria, they can surivive with parasites, but once they start to get stress with meds and fluatation in tempreture it dosn't take much for the desease to set in even further, all you can do is hope for the best, that why is always best to quarantine new fish, most fiish have parasites it just takes a stressful siutation to kick it off same as other deseases.

Symptoms:
Fish may have reddening at fin bases, blood streaks throughout the fins and body, small hemorrhages around the eyes. Dull listless behavior and lack of appetite may also be present.
Cause:
Systemic bacterial infection caused by various bacteria, including Aeromonas, Pseudomonas and Vibrio. The illness is often brought on by poor water quality or as a result of parasitic infestations or other infections. These bacteria enter the blood stream and circulate through the tissues causing inflammation and damage. Inflamed blood vessels in the skin and at fin bases stand out. Blood vessel and heart tissue damage cause hemorrhaging and consequently leakage of body fluids into the abdomen, which may lead to Dropsy.
Treatment:
Water conditions must be improved for all fish in the tank, regardless of how many fish are infected. Check your water’s Treat with Kanacyn or Tetracycline as well as with a medicated food if the fish will eat. If parasites are suspected, all the fish in the tank should be treated with antiparasitic medication. Using salt to help restore osmotic balance might be helpful.
