All,
Here's a picture of a male platy who was previously suspected of having an internal parasite (white stringy poop, lots of shimmies, not eating, etc.).
He unfortunately died last night and I just noticed a crack in the skin on my hand (due to dryness) that has probably been there for a couple of days. This hand was exposed to the water in the aquarium ...
Do you think this fish likely had tb given the spine curvature (and the weird fuzzy white spot on top)? If so, what if any steps should I take now to avoid potential future health issues for myself (e.g. prophylactic antibiotics)? The tank is a secondary concern at the moment ... Reading about fish tb has been scaring me quite a bit ...
Thanks in advance!
