I contracted what I and my doctor thought was vibrio from scratching my arm in the tank. I could reproduce the rash but rubbing anything from the tank against my skin.
No fish losses, but the tank wasn't right. I got a prescription for enough cephlaxin and added it to my tank. Things cleared up and I was no longer able to get the skin rash/lesions after treatment. I did not verify by any tests, and don't recall how I came to the conclusion it was vibrio, but the treatment seems to have worked over a few days.
