Please do just enjoy your fish...I'm pretty sure I've had a few fish that had fish TB in the 30 years (man am I old or what?) that I've been keeping fish. I destroyed the livestock and moved on without tearing down tanks. In a couple of suspected cases (I never had the body tested), they were in community tanks and no one else came down with similar symptoms. The site linked to on the first page mentions the most likely means of transmission is for the sick fish to be eaten (or a bite taken out of it) by a healthy fish, and I think that's the case here.
Fishkeepers who have lost their entire stock most likely had too many fish to notice how unwell one was...in my case, never having run more than 4 tanks at once, I notice each fish and if one's sick can take quick action & move to QT.
If this disease was as prevelant as we fish keepers often fear, there wouldn't be any fish breeders left at this point.
