I have so far had this issue with three fish over the coarse of roughly 3 months since I upgraded them to my 20 gallon.

Fish one happened maybe a week after introduction. Flashing behavior, became skinny, inflamed gills, clamped fins, passed within three days.

Fish two happened two months later, clamped fins, red gills, skinny, became incredibly lethargic on the final day and passed away 3 days after symptoms were noticed.

Fish three is beginning to show same clamped fin behavior.

both fish two and three showed these symptoms following a water change.

water parameters are good with zero nitrite and ammonia, a higher PH of 7 but stable, and harder water around 250ppm tank temp is 78 Fahrenheit. my plants are doing great as are my shrimp.

trying to google had led me from something as simple as parasites to tuberculosis. My attempts at pictures. Behavior is normal so she's incredibly hard to take pictures of and ignore the dirty glass while I wait for new blades to come in. I have already lost my favorite female and male, she is my second favorite. I would like to save her or at least solve this problem before it kills the fry.
