Clown loach TB?

[IloveEBR]

Hey y’all I think my clown loch died of fish TB. I got 3 2 weeks ago the other two are healthy, active, eating, and always together. They would chase the third one away and bully him. He would lay on the sand a lot and breathe hard this morning I was going a head count and eventually found him in a decoration dead with a huge growth on him and his stomach is really sunken in.. I attached a picture of him after he had died. I didn’t see him all day yesterday but the day before he didn’t have the growth. If it is do I have to put all the other fish down and restart? They are all acting normal. I’m also pregnant and have a 2 year old so I’m stressing over this.

That looks like a fluid filled lump; it’s possible it’s just an injury that swelled up.

I mean I’d treat it like the worst case scenario, wear gloves and/or wash your hands well after working in the tank but I don’t think that symptom screams fish tb to the point that I’d euthanize other fish and tear down the tank.
