Ok, I need some advice on a situation here. I have a ten gallon that is a pretty new tank (probably one or two months) with 6 danios, and then a 30 gallon that is probably 3 months old with one bala shark. I am getting a test kit sometime this week, but I don't have any stats for now, sorry. 
The ten gallon I have had for years, and for years it has been up and running. It was an established tank, so when we got the 30 gallon tank, I originally was trying to do a fishless cycle and I put some gravel from the ten gallon into the 30 gallon to speed up the cycle. What I didn't know was that my ten gallon had tuberculosis in it (the fish were all dying with a bent spine). Does the 30 gallon have tuberculosis now, too?
I am getting a black moor from my friend (she has the poor thing in a 5 gallon, so I am giving it a temporary home until she can afford a bigger tank for him) and I want to put it in the 30 gallon. (The bala is going back to the fish store, as we cannot get it a proper tank) Can the black moor get tuberculosis from the 30 gallon having had gravel from an infected tank? (The gravel was taken out when my dad got impatient and got the bala before I was able to do a fishless cycle.)
If the 30 gallon is possibly infected, then should I strip it down and clone my ten gallon? The ten gallon isn't very old, so I don't even know if it can be cloned yet.
I will be getting a test kit sometime this week to see if it is cycled.
So I'm basically asking if the 30 gallon is infected with tuberculosis. If not, then thats all. If it is, then I need to know how to clone the 10 gallon into the 30 gallon, or if I can even do that.
Sorry if I am being confusing.
