Hi today i found one of my danios dead with the same symptoms as one which died 2-3 weeks ago. just been reading about diseases and it perfectly matches fish tb
They both had ulcers/wounds, missing scales, were very thin and had curved spines. the wounds has like long hair type growths around the edges
is this fish tb or is there anything similar?
should i treat the whole tank now (even tho no fish are showing symptoms)?
Thanks
Lloyd
 
If TB is in the tank, it's impossible to get rid of. The fish will most likely be carrying it, and the only way to get rid of it is a full tank disinfection. It could also be another disease - many bacterial infections also have these symptoms
You're probably best off treating fish when sympotms show, because treating as a preventative might make bacteria resistant.
 
Hi all the fish seem ok now so think it was probebly something else, fingers crossed.
Thanks
Lloyd
