Hi Keith and thank you for the information.  I did not know those
risks were associated with kanacyn (had never used it) and I
appreciate you sharing that.  Unfortunately, the fish is taking the
same speedy downward decline as the other two.  The spine seems even
more bent, it is having difficulties swimming and not eating.  I am
going to look into a necropsy so I can determine if this is, in fact,
TB, so I know for sure what is going on here.

Many thanks again.
