came home today and noticed that one of my neon tetras, which i just got about 3 days ago, was swimming in circles, upside down, and gasping for breath. i checked my water conditions and everything is ok. did a little quick research and it looked like swim bladder disease. before i could make it here to post a question, he died. now my question is, if it was swim bladder disease, can it spread to the rest of my fish in the tank? and if so can i treat the entire tank?

well he said it looked like swim bladder not that it actually was... just seeing if perhaps it could have been something else...

where did he buy it and do they offer any return policy?

I had some sick tetras that looked like it was ich but it turned out to be neon tetra disease... so it could be possible to confuse symptoms... gathering data and getting answers can only help new fish hobbyists in the future i believe.
