I'm losing Rainbows in my 6ft tank, and I'm pretty sure it's fish TB. Got K1 media and a UV sterilizer and all, but once that shit is introduced to the tank it's there forever.

How do you solve? Drain job? What about the remaining fish etc?
Aside from ensuring the water is clean and there's good filtration, I'm not sure there's much you can do.
Interesting that the rainbows are all affected to the point of lesions and slowly dying one by one over the period of a few months so far, but the corydoras, plecos, and tetra populations are completely unaffected.
