fish disease

This clownfish went through a 30-day QT with light medication. It’s been 10 days since he(or she) was added to the display and as of last night he hasn’t been moving much. He is opening and closing his mouth rapidly, and there is a singular white spot on his chin. He also had little dents in his...

I have had 5 fish(Gobies) die from what I believe to be ick in the past two weeks.They all had white dots appear on there bodies along with respiratory difficulty. I have one gobi left and am desperately trying to keep it alive. Are there any suggestions on what to use to treat ick?

I am shocked. I purchased a small orchid dottyback about 3 weeks ago. Put him in my 5.5 G QT tank. Medicated the tank for the first week and a half and have observed him since. He always looked completely fine. Ate a lot. One mishap was when he got scared and jumped into the hang on back filter...

I have two new to me green chromis with white stringy poop and bloated stomaches, and they wont eat, does anyone have any suggestions on treating them. I have had them for about 4 days, they were given back to the LFS when someone moved. I have tried garlic, I figure if I can get them to eat I...

Hey y’all, I’ve had a clown in qt for about a month that has gone through both column dosing and food soaking of general cure, but internal parasites still persist. It still has white string feces. I learnt that fenbendazole is an alternative to resistant parasites, however it is not available...

I got an occelaris clownfish today, and it looked very healthy at the store in 0 copper and 1.022 specific gravity and my qt is at 1.023 so the acclimation jump wasn’t very large. It’s currently in qt at around 1.15 ppm of copper power. I’ve been gradually increasing dosage by .05 after...

I had 3 azure damsels in quarantine for 3 weeks doing well. My lfs got 4 more in so I snagged them and added them to the quarantine tank. I put a divider in the quarantine just I case. The four recently added have slowed died over the course of a week and a half. I’m not sure what’s causing...

Hi everyone new here im excited to get started on the forum! so i have just purchased the Fluval evo 13.5 after a year without a reef tank as my old one i had to sell as i moved away for a while but i still have some of the equipment left like the thermometer, power head,heater,my turkey...

So my newest tank had velvet and the very last fish, (there was only 3 but still sad), died. I loathe velvet with every fiber of my being. Now, I’m wondering what to do. I want to change the substrate anyway so I thought I would chick the old and start new, change the filter/media and let it...

Hello everyone, Does anyone know what happened to my fire fish and clownfish? The fire fish got some grey spots on both sides of body. It started with only one spot and now there are so many.... is this caused by parasites? As to the black spot on clownfish, it started one week ago after I put...

Hi everyone, So I bought this fish a week ago and today I noticed that their eyes got some cloudiness with it. I have a new tank and everything in it started from scratch. I am not sure if my tang had a little battle with my clownfish because one of my clownfish's tail had a little scratch...

sorry the pictures are a bit fuzzy, this guy is very hard to catch on camera lol! what's this look like to you? he acts normal, no swimming into the powerheads or anything, eats well but not ravenous. but he's definitely got some fuzz going on :( there's always something going wrong in this...

Earlier this week I lost my coral beauty. Now my strawberry pseudo chromis is showing almost identical symptoms. I’m starting to think they have a type of disease. Can anybody help me, and what should I do to keep my other fish from this. Also my fish isn’t normally in a glass, I just put him in...

Hi Today I noticed that my Auriga was laying on the sandbed and a died 30 minutes later, the fish looked fine a couple of hours earlier and did eat as normal. As you can see he have redish scales, what could the reason be behind his death? What disease should I treat for before my other fish...

Hi guys, I got this fish from Liveaquaria about 20 days ago and after 2 days of being in QT we moved it to the my new DT tank. It had a wound on it's side from trying to go under the rock so I treated the entire tank with Seachem Paraguard for 10 days. Things got better after the 4th day of...

Hello all! It’s a sad morning for me as I woke up to my first fish casualty. My hopes for this post is to get any advice as to what may have happened so that I can prevent it in the future. It’s a bit of a long story but I’ll try to be concise. My royal gramma was the first fish in my tank...

I have a clownfish has pop eye and the royal gramma seems be doing this weird thing against the wall. He also is not as purple as he was. All other fish seem fine, eating and Swimming healthy. Just did a water change today as well, all levels are fine as they should be. I’m pretty new to this...

Hey guys, I have two clowns, and the smaller one is a super finicky eater. He does not get excited about food, he will either swim up to food and then let it hit the ground or instantly spit it out. He is SO much skinnier than the bigger clown, and I am worried he's going to be dead soon. I am...

So hadn't noticed anything on my Bicolor blenny till today, but it appears that part of his color is fading in different spots on his body, most on one side. It's almost looks like it is slightly bleached? I'll try and attach a decent pic, but he's easily the hardest fish to get a good pic of in...

I can't figure out what is wrong with my clowns. Had them for 3 months. Only fish in the tank. Added some CUC and corals over the last 2 months. All corals QT'd and dipped multiple times, CUC wasn't QT'd. A pair of clowns was tank bred at the local LFS. I did notice female had white stringy poop...

First of all, greetings to everyone jumped into this thread, this is my first thread in R2R though i've never expected my first post would be a pest-id topic... I got a tank of Chaetodontoplus, four of them (singapore angel, scribbled angel, blue line and a conspicuous ) in a 4inch tank About...

Is anyone familiar with this disease (watch video)? I fed a lot less over the last two weeks n now this.

I dun goofed. I introduced a clownfish to my display without QTing recently. I knew better and I did it anyway. Shame on me. (I also posted this in the wrong forum earlier.) Anyway, now Bentley (Bristletooth) and Jubilee (Yellow) have some kind of skin condition. I’m scared it’s brook, but I...

My tank is 2 months old. I added 2 juvenile Percula Clownfish at the very beginning and they have been great. 3 weeks later I added a Royal Gramma and they all were great. 2 weeks later I added an Orchid Dottyback. Again, all great. 1 week ago I added 5 new snails. None of them were...
