The Fish TB Controversy: Sterilize Everything or Fix the Balance?

Описание: In this update, I walk through what happened after my battle with what might have been fish TB (Mycobacterium).
Two fish showed classic symptoms, most of my platys disappeared over a few weeks, and after seeing the pattern, I decided to tear the tank down and sterilize everything.

But then I got an incredibly detailed comment on the original video that explained something important:

👉 Harmful bacteria—including the ones labeled as “fish TB”—exist in ALL aquariums.
They only become a problem when their numbers get too high and the fish become stressed.

So in this video, I talk about:
✔️ Why sterilizing a tank isn’t always required
✔️ Why balance and filtration matter more than “nuking” everything
✔️ How DOCs and bacterial overload can trigger chronic infections
✔️ What I actually did in my situation
✔️ And how I’ll run my tanks moving forward so this never happens again

Whether you’re dealing with mysterious losses, cloudy water, or long-term bacterial issues, this update might help you understand what’s really happening behind the scenes in your aquarium.

If you’ve ever worried about fish TB, chronic bacterial infections, or whether to tear down a tank, this video is for you.
