fluke

Hello Everyone! My first post on here and it comes with a worrying situation! The tank has been running for 5 years now with minimal issues thanks to all the advice on here! However! I added a large copperband butterfly about 2 months ago as the only new addition and over the last few weeks...

I had this yellow belly hippo in copper quarantine for past 2 weeks. 2 days ago her body was completely clean of any visible parasites. Today I was about to transfer her to a copper free quarantine and I saw this white spots all over her. I have never seen ick this big. Is this ick or flukes...

Hello everyone, this tang was given to me by a friend because I am currently setting up a larger tank and it outgrew his. It was in my tank for a month as the other tank is cycling. This morning I noticed these large white spots out of no where- seems nothing like ich or velvet. But also too...

Welp not qting caught up to me in this new tank. I noticed brown spots on a rabbitfish I just added. Also white round spots on copperband Any idea what this is? I’m assuming flukes or black ich? Very hard to get better pictures Tanks fairly knew no coral yet. There anything I can dose...

Hello, recently I made a post about the sea goblin and zebra lionfish I got. They had arrived yesterday and I think the trip had taken a toll on the zebra lion (the goblin was fine), he was upside down and his gills were red. The seller said that it was due to a lack of oxygen and when I placed...

Hi all, I am quarantining my fishes, first did 14 days of cuppramine for any ich or velvet, but there was no sign of it. But at the end of this cycle I noticed flukes on all fishes, did fw dip and it was confirmed. I have read that prazi pro is best medi but in India it is not available. I only...

I’ve had this blonde naso for a little over 3 months. He was 2-3 inches when we got him and is fat and happy. He has grown a little in that time, always eats a lot and mixed diet. I use nori, nori pellets, spirulina brine, mysis , and tdo- so he gets a very diverse diet. 3 days ago I noticed his...

I have given my hippo tang a few freshwater baths in the last 2 wks. White flukes don’t come off - maybe some look white but then it’s all brown stuff. He pooped in the water ‍‍- so large chunks are poop. Thoughts? My next step is the quarantine - I’ve done PraziPro in the tank already. Copper...

Saw this on my firefish as I was about to do my water change and I saw him "darting" across the sand a couple of times. Is this fluke or ich? Can I just treat the tank with prazipro (the only other fish in the tank is a cardinal)? I'm QT a fish in my QT tank right now and currently treating the...

I had this go horribly wrong and lost a blue tang. I am trying to see where it went wrong. I had a blue tang being quarantined. When I bought him he was visually free of ick and very agressive eater. After about 10 days of observation I noticed very fast breathing and some flashing. His appetite...

Hey folks, hoping for some advice on my tailspot blenny in my pico reef. He's been in the tank for about 1.5 months now, looks healthy, swims around, and eats regularly. Unfortunately I just started noticing him flashing periodically this last week. It's not constant, but I've seen it everyday...

I have had a case of what I think was brooklynella in the past 5 months. It started with my clownfish and they ended up dying despite our medication. We got a second batch of fish 4/5 weeks as per recommended by our fish guy, and they ended up dying of the disease too. We weren't able to treat...

I took a gentle skin scrape off one of my clownfish and found red bacteria moving very slowly. Should I be concerned? And could the picture be a fluke of some sort? Btw they are taken at 800x And I've been using prazipro for about 2 1/2 to 3 weeks now.
