Tuberculosis

[mbsqw1d]

Hello,

The last fish I lost was a small Leapord Danio. He never grew too big and throughout his life he had developed quite a curved spine. Everything I have read about curved spine seems to point to TB.
I now have a corydora that is very ill and I don't think he'll last the night. I am currently only able to test my water for nitrate, but I have recently done many water changes over this last week @ 60% after finding the nitrate quite high. The cory is very pale, lethargic and looks almost dead! Could my tank have TB in there? is it contagious?

To answer about the TB

Yes it is, But !!!, very slightly as such so i read

And yes in extreme cases humans can contract it also (from fresh wounds generally)

Here's a quick search link, there are thousands but this keeps it short n simple .............
