Hey Debs!

I'm so sorry... please don't give up - you are a great fish-mom!! Unfortunately, if this IS fish TB... then it is highly contageous to other fish... and can affect humans in a different way (and it's not the same as human tuberculosis)... so adding new fish to an established tank that previously held TB-affected fish (and TB would exist in all facets of the tank and filter), would transfer the disease to the new fish and the TB cycle would never end. You can't "nuke" the filter media b/c it would also kill the beneficial bacteria.

I'm so sorry... I started a thread for you in The Waiting Room for those of us that want to send you our cyber-hugs and encouragement...

Michele
