Neon Tetra Disease / Fntd

[Jonj]

I had 5 black neon tetra (all died) and 3 glowlight tetra (2 died) from the disease. I'm treating the tank with a generic bacterial/parasite killer which I hope has saved the last tetra - all on his own There are now 1 glowlight and 3 otto in the tank. The medication doesn’t tell me what to do now... How long will it take for the bacteria/parasite to die off, do I need to do a complete water change, and do I need to change the media in my filter...? Can anyone please advise me?

Thanks,

Jon

This is a dreaded disease that I've had in my tanks from time to time and have never been able to find a cure... always loosing the lot of them.... It is contagious and may affect other fish as well, so best to remove the diseased fish and do whatever treatment seperately... Good luck!

I thought black neons didn't get NTD though? Someone else here told me that in another thread!

I've had Black Widows infected with neon tetra disease....

I don't get what it is? What are the symptoms?

Treating my fish for ich, and remembered seeing NTD is incureable.
