[ffffrf]

well i havent had a disease in a long time my nitrates are 5.0-10.0 my nitrites are 0.00 ammonia it seems that my fish have most of the symptoms for fish tb and i think that its only the first stage of it because i only see these symptoms like once a day and also some of these symptoms also fit dropsy is there any accurate way of knowing witch on or in any disease it is? Is there any treatment for the fish if they do have tb

IF, and thats a big IF, your fish have piscine TB, honestly I would say your goodbyes and be incredibly careful yourself!! It CAN spread to people and it can be aggresive in humans!! I'm not trying to scare you, as piscine TB is INCREDIBLY rare, it most likey is something else. What type of fish is it? What are all the symptoms? What do the fish look like? Dropsy will many times cause the scales to "pop" off the fish making them no longer look "smooth". Let us know some of the symptoms and it will be a little easier.

Good luck and don't worry!
