There is no guaranteed cure for fish tuberculosis. Treatment is carried out in a separate aquarium, where sick fish are transplanted. In some cases, the use of antibiotics, such as canacimin, helps. If the symptoms have been noticed recently and the disease has not had time to seriously affect the fish, a vitamin B6 solution can be quite effective. Dosage: 1 drop for every 20 liters of water every day for 30 days. A solution of vitamin B6 is purchased at the nearest pharmacy, this is the same vitamin that pediatricians prescribe to young children.
If treatment fails, the fish should be euthanized.
Fish tuberculosis has a potential danger of infection for humans, so you should not work with fish in an infected aquarium if there are unhealed wounds or scratches on your hands.
