Ok guys i'm just going to assume i'm dealing with fish TB. I have NO IDEA what to do or where to go. I know everyone says euthanize everything and start over but it's hard for me to kill fish that don't seem to sick. My worst fear is that I only have one Water changer and I've shared it between all my tanks (in the past )... I have 6 aquariums with fish. I stopped sharing once I noticed sickness and bleached the hose. Last time I bleached and used alcohol.
I can't stand not knowing what i"m dealing with but I CANNOT afford a 75 dollar necropsy. I'm concerned for my health, my dogs and my other fish. Anyone have any kind of advice to help me know for certain and what step I need to take next? I'm really freakin out here. What if all my tanks are infected and its just not showed up yet? How do i deal with this?
}back story here{
I have come to the conclusion my danios are they carriers for this disease because...
I had purchased 6 zebra danios for my community tank... ( i noticed the danios sick first ) now i have an angel not eating.
2 zebra danios for dithers for a rummynose tank
( one of these started showing the same symptoms ) I removed them before either died in the tank.
I am down to 3 zebra danios out of 8 ( sadly i don't care about them so much i just need this to be over. )
I moved some shrimp from my community tank to my betta tank so I could treat the tank with meds ( could the shrimp have carried it to my betta?)
I have treated with parasite clear, salt and also 100% metro. The angel did seem to improve a little not hanging near the surface near as much and started to show a little more intrest in food but none have an aggressive appetite like they should. The owner of a LFS that has been around here for over 50yrs told me that danios are spawned and raised in ponds and are full of parasites. AM I dealing with a VERY Difficult parasite? I don't know...
I now have 2 angels and 2 rams. One angel is not eating and sometimes jerks and twitches , one is spitting food but acting more normal scavanging and swimming around, coming to the top for food. The rams seem pretty normal im not quiet sure how they are eating... they stay on the bottom alot. The rams still sift through sand and chase each other. They have white stringy poo which seemed to get better with treatment of metro but it seems to come and go. I'm trying to treat the food but they don't act like they like it...
I would love to cure them but i'm mostly concerned about the spread and me and my dogs. I have very sensitive hands which are OFTEN cracked and I also fear my dogs may get licking happy around my fish supplies lol
I know this is a long shot cause i've posted other threads before but Im' still kind of a newbie and I had to euthanize fish that are maybe being treated for the wrong thing and just need a different treatment... or I hate to keep them and all my other fish catch it. HAS ANYONE experienced MYCOBACTERIUM???I need HELP pleaaaaaaaaase!!
