First post here, so be gentle. 😉 I think I have neon tetra disease but am no expert by any means. I did a 7-day ich-x treatment because I noticed white spots on my tetras. The spots have not disappeared after treatment. I am assuming the spots are NTD. I do have some spine curvature, tetras are hanging out at bottom, and not showing interest in food. Am I right about my tetras having NTD? Do I need to euthanize my tetras?
Pictures of tetras and 2 of whole tank included.
I started with 11 tetras and lost one. I added kuhlis, a hillstream loach, and gourami a couple weeks after the tetra died.
I also have 8-9 kuhlis, a hillstream loach, and a 3-spot gourami. I’m worried they will get NTD. I read it spreads by eating carcass of dead fish. Does it spread through the water column as well? I have noticed white spots on one of my kuhlis.
