Neon Tetra Disease
*THIS DISEASE IS NAMED AFTER THE FIRST FISH THAT IT WAS NOTICED ON. THIS DISEASE CAN APPEAR ON ANY FISH NOT JUST NEON TETRAS.
This disease is caused by the sporoza Plistophora Hyphessobryconis. It will appear as whits areas under the skin of the fish and will lead to muscle degeneration and abnormal swimming. The organism will form cyst which will burst and create more organisms. Eventually these organisms will get into the water and will be eaten by other fish and infect the entire tank.
There is no known treatment for this disease. It is best to destroy the infected fish and clean the aquarium.
