I thought this was a CB interbreeding problem, showing up with stress etc. Could it be his new tank mate the springer damsel or possibly the lawnmower goby being defensive with him? I also have 2 cave tunnels at my rockwork, so could he have just scraped his forehead going thru?

I recently added 4 Anthias, 3 are doing totally fine, eating, all that, one decided to go hide under some rocks. After a couple of days of this I removed it to a QT tank for observation and it's not doing well, but it's quite unclear as to what the cause might be. Observations: -not eating...

Hello All, Just noticed this today, the fish is still eating but he is swimming a little odd not using that fin much. Is this a swim bladder issue or is this damage?. I just saw the fish poop a little didn’t know if this was possible constipation or worse. Thanks, Ethan

Hello, So I made an emergency thread a week or 2 ago too and I'm having a similar problem again. The back story: on 20th of August I got my 15gallon fish tank that had been sitting running for a few months with no fish at my LFS. They told me that the water parameters were good so I got a...

Long story short, I have one clownfish survivor from a previous tank. The clownfish was medicated and has been healthy and happy for about a month now. I recently got a new clown which now appears to have some kind of bacterial infection. Can I move both clownfish over to the hospital tank and...

Had my black and white clowns a little over a year, along with a royal gramma. it’s been a little hot in UK, tank temp 25c has fluctuated 0.5-1.5c most days for a week or so Around 6 weeks ago I changed my aquascape with dry rocks and doses bacteria, this went fine. Around 3 weeks ago I left...

Guys I need help! What’s wrong with my blue tangs eye. I see this slight bulging white silver stuff. It wasn’t prominent yesterday, I woke up and saw this today. It was in QT for 5 weeks after which it’s not in the DT, seems to eating normally, water quality is good. Did a 5 min freshwater dip...

I will be picking up a flame angel and a blue spot puffer this weekend and I would like to do a 21+ day medicated quarantine 30+ day total QT with both of them. I have read that angels and puffers can be sensitive to copper but much less so than something like a wrasse of mandarin. Does...

Hi all, Newbie here. I'm afraid I'm about to lose this little Diamond Goby. She was purchase as part of a pair 9 days ago and acclimated well into my FOWLR 55g AIO tank. She and her partner were always side by side and while the male was more active, she was sifting and ate some of the mixed...

Looking for some advice on marking on my male clownfish, spots on mandarin and death of royal gramma. I noticed the pink marking on the male clownfish’ head around 6 days ago I used FluxRX 3 weeks ago and did the full 2 week cycle by removing cheato and carbon. I’ve since added carbon back a...

I have a sick dogface puffer! He has ich I think. I treated with weco nox-ich (Malachite Green) after being recommended by a local fish store. Seems it didn't work or only provided temporary relief. Gave him a FW dip two nights ago. Hoping it's ich and not velvet. Would prefer to stay away from...

I have been treating my 60 gal with prazipro , im on the 5 day mark (out of said 7) and i did a water change, is it necessary to retreat the water with prazipro oncemore? If so how much should i add? I also read that doing a 14 day treatment with another waterchange is necessary…. but basic...

I would like to document a force feeding procedure I've been doing the last week that I believe saved my mandarin fish at least for the last days. So I know Dragonets do not handle well copper, but we have a documented protocol in Brazil with low levels of copper (0.2mg/L) together with TTM...

I appreciate any help in advance. My Yellow Tang (who has been with me for 5 years and counting) is experiencing tail fin recession. First I thought he got in a scuffle with my Maroon Clown, then I noticed that there are a couple of orange "dots" on the its tail. My "hospital tank" has...
