Curved Spine/Small/Popeye

[jlbfish]

This fishy is a mess seems lethargic, has pop eye in both eyes has a slightly curved spine and is smaller than the others. When I netted him he was not swimming to the top of the tank to eat.

He is willing to eat. Not so active and missing a pelvic fin (I think that is what it is called). While researching some issues in another tank with water parameters I discovered I had a 0 GH so I have started adding equilibrium for now to help that.

All the other fish are fine with no issues. Is it possible to treat this guy? (I was debating Maracyn and Maracyn2)

Water Parameters all test fine.

Thanks

You could try to get him to turn around, but there are a lot of issues, and the worst is it is TB

sounds like fish TB to me sorry to see your fish so sick

Weird. Is that contagious? Hello Google!

No cure for TB and you'll have to give him an "ice bath". or a clove oil dip. it's quick and painless. They just go to sleep

Test your water with a home testing kit, or bring your water to a pet store that specializes in fish to test it for you for very little cost

Yes it is contagious , to people too. Caused by mycobacterium . Google it

Which tests? I have hte API Kits and the parameters are fine. is there something else I can test for?

It is contagious to people in the form of skin nodules

Can cause boils

There isnt a 'home test' for fish tb. Only a a vet with laboratory diagnostics can positively ID this.
