Hello,
Over the past month, I have much of my tank die, the latest death was today. It started with a Red Wag, that I euthanized because I suspected it had tuberculosis over a month ago. Soon after, another red wag died. From that point to today, a Rasbora, and Black Phantom Tetra being the latest, and an Angelfish have died, none of which showed any signs of disease.
