I suspect my tank has an Internal Bacteria Infection (IBI). In the past two weeks I have lost 1 betta, 1 head and tail tetra, 1 cherry barb and 1 amano shrimp. The water stats are fine with both Ammonia and Nitrite being at 0ppm. The tank is well established at over 1 year old.
The reason I suspect the tank has an IBI is that all the fish have swollen bellies, surely a tell-tale sign of an IBI. I have the treatment for this disease in my possesion. Do you believe it is OK to use this treatment even if not 100% that the tank is suffering from an IBI? I have just done a 75% water change to try and perk things up a little. The swollen bellies isn't a result from over-feeding because their feeding pattern is the same as always. (those of you interested can download a copy of my feeding routine here)
So in conclusion I would like some advice on the issue 'is it ok to treat a tank with medication even if not 100% on the disease'
Thank you in advance
