disease

Today I noticed something strange on my Foxface Rabbitfish. His behavior is normal and he’s acting fine. There are small-medium spots scattered on his side and they look brownish/beige. They are like nothing I’ve seen before as it doesn’t look like ick or anything else I can think of. It’s only...

Hi, Today, I noticed my male mandarin died. I found him on the bottom of the tank when I woke up. It is a big loose for me, as he was a part of mated pair, which has been spawning several times. On 21.11.2023 I noticed ich breakdown in my tank. I have tried to manage it, and I haven't had any...

Hi there. The other day I was at my lfs looking to purchase a pair of Wyoming white clowns for my new tank. I watched them in the store, checking to see if I saw any issues with the fish. They seemed fine to me. They were under blue light so it was harder to see. Once I got home and put them in...

Hello, everyone, I'm new here, someone help me, please. I Woke up this morning and found out there is something on my yellow Tang ‘s fin. Any idea what is it??? No new fish was added last couple months. It was added to my fish tank 4 month ago this year.

I don’t know what’s wrong. I lost 2 that’s the other day, and was told it was the newly added unsafe anemone. Now today, my yellow tile fish can’t get off the sand bed, and seems to have a piece of his take missing. This is NOT another fish doing this as I basically have nothing left in my tank...

Hi all, was just doing a coral feeding and noticed my clownfish has a slightly off-colored patch of scales above her pectoral fin. This is the only area of discoloration, and she is behaving like normal otherwise. My assumption is that she may have rubbed against a rock while chasing my...

I keep thinking about why it seems as though freshwater fish diseases seem less-commonly talked about compared to saltwater fish diseases and was wondering if anyone else had any insights/thoughts. My guesses on why this is were that: a. Freshwater fish might be more disease resilient as they...

Please help today I’ve noticed white patches on my black clownfish and I can’t seem to find what it is. I’ve seen a lot of ich pictures and they seem really small but these patches seem bigger.

I added two clowns to my third marine tank. They are the first guys in. He had this spot come up in his eye and it seems to be getting bigger. Any idea what it could be? I don’t think uronemia which I had before on some fish. The white horizontal line is gone but the spot is causing his eye to...

I was wondering about the possibility of looking for parasites under the microscope as an alternative (or in addition) to quarantine in general. This came to mind in the context of me needing to add a large crew of Emerald crabs to help combat a bubble algae outbreak ASAP. But my interest at...

I just bought a blue tang a few weeks ago and I noticed that it got this black area, it isn’t on the other side so does anyone know what it is or how to cure it?

I noticed that my canary blenny was pooping out this weird thing. Is it a internal parasite or sickness? Thank you
