Danios With An Arched Body

[mnbyiuopre]

I just noticed that my danios seem to be a bit arched, more than usual. Is that normal for them or not? It's almost like they have their stomach sucked in and then their back extends up.

Destroy the fish fast.Danio tend to get fish tb.Bent spines and sunken in belly are fish tb to internal parasites.What it look like when the fish goes to the toilet.Is the anus enlarged on red and inflamed.Look under tb.http/www.4qd.org/Aqua/disease/tb.htmlhttp/www.aquarticles.com/articles/manage...fer_FishTB.htmlhttp/www.aquarticles.com/articles/manage...fer_FishTB.html

Hi Wilder! Yes good to see you back!

I was just going to stop and suggest tb. Glad it was you though. It would have taken me forever to get to the point.

Thanks, Wilder. I have never had any of my fish suffer from TB before and therefore have had no experience. I will destroy the fish ASAP. I do have some questions though. My dwarf gourami must have also caught it because it lost its color and died unexpectedly. Now, I also have 2 platys, a baby platy, 4 neon tetras, and a glass tetra. 2 of the 4 danios are infected, 1 died and one looks OK. What else can I do to save the tank?

Once you have destroyed all the fish with tb symtoms you usually add an antibiotic to the tank.
Something like tetracycline, or minocycline.
But some antibiotics wipe the bacteria colony out in your filter.
Good luck.
Keep your self safe if you have cuts on your hands wear gloves.
Its very rare for a haman to catch fish tb though, only if your immune system is weak.
