Aquarium Advice Freak
Hello,
I recently (on the 17th) purchased 5 kuhli loaches from my lfs, but wasn't there to "handpick" them perse, and only saw them once I got home. They all look healthy except for one, that had a bent spine, it looks like it has 2 bends.
Not to be a hypochondriac, but I'm afraid the one might have fish tb. Since my lfs is a dedicated aquatic store, I'll call them after the holiday, but would a microscope be the only way to tell?
They all still eat, and there aren't any bloody sores or open wounds. I'll try to post a pic when I can!
I'd hate to risk infecting any other fish. The kuhli loaches are currently in a cycled 10 gallon quarantine. I have a 29 gallon community, but I've been avoiding using the same equipment when possible.
