I left my tank unattended for about 4-5 days while going home for thanksgiving. I had a pleco that was overcoming what I finally diagnosed as an internal bacterial infection. I was treating with pimafix and results were slow but I think they were coming. I then left and came back to a dead and partially devowered fish. Although its possible that the fish just was decomposing, I'd bet that the others pecked at him. Do I have to worry about the others now getting infected?

My conditions are all normal and the fish don't show any signs as of yet.

Should I worry?
thanks for the input in advance.
 
Well yes and no :p Worrying won't help the situation - just watch and hope they don't show symptoms is more like it. They could have caught it but you can't realy know until you see something's wrong... Did you finnish the treatment? If you haven't, I would continue it for as long as you would have had the pleco survived.
