technically it can but generally in my tanks it doesn't, the organisum that causes the disease is Pleistophora Hyphessobryconis, it produces cysts inside the tissue of fish, if your fish are healthy and your tank well maintained the immune system of your fish will keep it at bay, as they get older it can be more of a problem.

Ok thankyou for your info. The fish that are in the tank are probably 18 months old at the most, so they are pretty young fish and are still growing, so at this stage I will leave them where they are.

I ended up trying to take the tetras out of the tank cause I just didn't want to risk it and man they are hard to catch! lol. I caught 3 of the 5 but the whole tank was stressed and I gave up trying to catch the other 2, for today anyways.

All the tetras are out of the tank now Illusn and I was wondering, is it safe to put anymore new tetras into the tank? Is there anyway to make it safe for any new fish?
