Can Neon Tetra Disease Kill All My Fish?

About a week ago I traded in my neons for cardinal tetras.
But, during the time I had neon tetras I had them for about 2 weeks with all my other stocking.
Here is my old stocking:
1 angelfish
4 dwarf gourami
5 neon tetras
6 cardinal tetras
1 blue phantom pleco
2 German Blue Rams

I'm worried cause now I'm remembering that I thought my neon tetras were pregnant before cause they had a lump on the bottom of their body (only a couple). Also their color was more a dark blue then bright light blue/ neon blue. I'm really worried cause I hear neon tetra disease is not treatable and can infect all other fish. Will my fish survive? I don't know the symptoms of neon tetra disease for other fish.
As of now my fish all eat well and swim actively. No one is isolating themselves or looks like they are going to die. You guys think I'm ok? Also can't show pictures of neon tetras before as I traded them away.

It's spread through fish eating dead infected fish or live food that is carrying the disease. A good gravel vac would be wise but otherwise as long as no inhabitants ate dead infected tetras you should be fine.

The mentioned symptoms are not NTD (for instance in case of NTD the red color is affected first).

Real NTD would affect all fish. But I am quite sure this isn't NTD.
The bumps could point to worms / internal parasites.

Worming your fish isn't a bad ide
