I ordered this princess damsel off of saltwater fish and when it came yesterday, i thought i was a wound because it was just the top, and now after not even a full day of being in my display (I know, should’ve qt’d) the tail i white and looks like the fin is almost melting, and had white above...

Hey I’m curious about my niger trigger fin. Iv had him for 3 months and I noticed his bottom fin was damaged. He has been eating regularly and it seems to not bother him. I’m not sure if it’s fin rot or a mechanical damage. Any thoughts? Thank you!

Hello, I have a Timor erase that I’ve had for around two years now and he has been struggling for months now with something I would like help in identifying. He has a large lump on one side of him and what looks to be another lump starting out almost directly on the opposite side along with a...

Hello! I received a Dejardini Tang the other day from someone who could no longer take care of it. However when I received it, it was in terrible shape. It looks like it has HLLE and I’m not sure if it has tail rot as it was previously housed with a porcupine puffer. I also can’t tell if there...

Hi guys! So picked up this pair on Saturday. Acclimated and popped them into my 180L tank, where they both hid in the rock work. Noticed this morning that one seems to have rather damaged fins, not sure if fin rot or is just from stress or perhaps bullying at the LFS? Is not eating but then has...

Hello all so I noticed about a week maybe 2 weeks back that my Royal Gramma’s tail was damaged, it hasn’t got progressively worse until maybe today it looked a bit more torn possibly, not sure but is this tail rot or another fish nipping him or? I only have a royal gramma, purple fire fish, 2...

Recently purchased a small High Hat, he's doing fine, eating and swimming around in the TTM bucket, but his tail is rotting real fast. I had dosed Kannaplex and Stress Guard into the bucket, today is the first day of dosing. Some of my friends told me that this kind of tail rot is very lethal...

Hi .... I've added (2) young clownfish into my tank. Everything was well for the 1st couple of days and then I noticed tears in one of the clown's tail fins and fading to white spots on the tail fin. Each day it looks like the white spots are getting more prominent and chucks of the tail are...

Hey guys I’m new to this forum I would really appreciate some help in identifying what is affecting my clown. I got her a week ago from my lfs. From the beginning I noticed that her tail was a little ragged, but I assumed it was from other fish nipping at the store. However since then it’s...

This is my Pajama Cardinal, Fred. I have him in a Fluval Evo with a mild-mannered ocellaris, a barnacle blenny, and a small peaceful CUC. No stinging corals, just those basic orange/green zoas, gsp, and a mushroom. No protein skimmer per se, but I do have a cheap little surface skimmer. Also, no...

I’m currently using API Super Cure Ick at half the recommended dose (I have 3 Mystery snails), and noticed my black molly (i also have 4 tetras, and 3 danio in 30 gal) is also showing signs of a possible secondary infection with fin rot. I only noticed these symptoms on my molly, most likely...

Can anyone tell me what is going on and how I can fix it

Hi! Many days ago I detected a fish in my tank that had like a "broken" caudal fin. I didn't give it importance, I thought it was a small fight or something similar. Then I was away from my home for a month or so and when I returned I saw many caudal and pectoral fins broken also I have an...

So I purchased a Melanurus Wrasse two days ago and put it into QT, I am currently treating it for internal parasites/worms due to stringy white feces and the food is mixed to @Humblefish specifications using general cure. Today as I'm observing the fish I noticed its fin was damaged as well as...

Recently I received a shipment of cardinal fish with frayed fins. All fish we're talking about here are in a QT. Despite treating with neoplex/metroplex/furan-2 for basically 2 rounds, all fish that arrived with frayed fins died. All fish without frayed fins have looked great and done well...

With the recent tropical storm that hit the US, my house had no power for 60 hours. I had to relocate the fish to a shop we own. I noticed a splotch on my clown’s pectoral fin, but knew there wasn’t much I could do. (I was at work when the storm hit and the tank had gone 16 hours without power...

My tank got the bare minimum from my husband(he just doesn’t know anything about fish keeping) and now that I’m home and able to get around some, my fish are all sick.....I’ve never had a sick fish before. I...

So I've just gotten 4 fish, 2 clownfish, a hippo tang, and a flasher wrasse. The hippo and flasher are in the same tank. The flasher helps the hippo feel more comfortable to feed and when its out the hippo is out. They are in a quarantine tank. They have been eating really well (day 3 now) and...

Hi, I just bought a clownfish two hours ago from petco and recently put him in my tank. When I got him into the tank I noticed that his fins looked a little deteriorated. At petco he was in a larger tank with 2 other clownfish and a cleaner shrimp. I was wondering if someone knew what is wrong...
