Were other different species of fish in the same tank affected by the disease? (sorry about grammar, no neat way to say that!) Or was it just M.praecox?

I have Sterbai Cory, black neon tetras, otos, nerites and amanos. It was only the M.praecox and I have not had a death in several months since I euthanised the last one.

It's an awful thing to have to do, but if any more show signs I will have to do it and start again.
Depending on # of rainbows & your level of objectivity, consider removing all rainbows before your holiday - remove to a separate bin with a sponge filter while you're away (how long is holiday?) or euthanize ...
Preventing other stock from consuming these dying/dead fish is strongly preferred - what other livestock are in tank?
If rainbows continue to pass at similar rate to these last two, will tank be overwhelmed with bioload???
I'd not buy any hobby grade UV - they won't provide any protection against mycobacterium (& very little else)
Re infection of other stock, disease progress is measured in months to years, so it's very difficult to assess infected state on companion fish
