I have a 10 gal tank that I had some black swordtails and a few black skirt tetras in along with an electric blue lobster. The fish all came down with a bacterial infection which I think was transferred from my 75 gal cichlid tank. I moved the tetras to the 10 gal and the infection showed up a few days later in the cichlid tank. The cichlids were medicated and are all healthy now, but of course it reared its head again about 9 days later in the 10 gal. Even with tedious water changes and continuously medicating, the swordtails and the tetras lost the battle. The blue lobster seems to have been unaffected by the whole ordeal. I want to completely break down the tank and clean it completely (with vinegar). My question is is there any treatment that I could do to the lobster to rid him from carrying any more of this potential infection so that I could put him back in the tank and start over? He's been surprisingly non aggressive with the swordtails so I would like to add some more in the tank. I just don't want to put them in there doomed to get sick. Any recommendations?
