I had a glo fish that look like that. He lived for about 1 year like that and then finally died. He was fine just looked bad.

Several of my glofish ended up looking like that too. The guys over at Just for Pets said theirs were doing the same thing.. said it could be TB?

Yes, there is fish tuberculosis and it's pretty brutal. Idk if that's what your fish had, as neon tetra disease does it as well.

No, it's not the same TB but it is very similar. It's also called curved spine.
This is a very blurry pic, but it's a zebra danio infected with advanced TB.
