I have a difficult choice to make and need some advice.
Two weeks ago I moved 12 tanichthys albonubes (white cloud mountain minnows) from my sister's old tank into a newly cycled one. I had noticed a while ago that a couple of them had bent spines and looked underfed. I (stupidly) thought nothing of this but have now become aware through some research and the development of more symptoms that they are possibly infected with fish TB. I have reason to believe that a number of the others are infected as well
I have 'euthanised' those affected as instructed but am now unclear what step to take next. I had hoped to add more fish in the near future but realise that this can't occur until the current problem is solved.
I have moved all the remaining fish to a hospital tank and was wondering if I should completely strip down and disinfect the main tank (start again basically) even though they have only been in it for a couple of weeks
(I am aware of the precautions I need to take to prevent suffering infection myself)
