ulsers

[Brian_G]

my cousin is having a problem with his fish dying all of a sudden. in 2 weeks he has lost a nice male naso tang, a powder blue tang and a male clown and a copper banded butterfly.

This is all after adding a second copper banded butterfly that was apparently the disease transmitting fish from the fish store. After the second cbb died, many fish ended up getting ulsers, and stopped eating and died quickly. Ive looked up vibrosis, but im not convinced thats it. Is there anything else that it could be?

It sounds like it could be fish tuberculosis. One of the major symptoms is lesions on the fish's body. I had a fish come down with this once. If it is fish TB, tell your cousin to be careful, because it's transmissible to humans.
