flukes

Hello everyone I recently purchased a bunch of wrasse to QT and place into my display tank. I put sand in the tank so that they have a place to sleep and not stress out too much along with some PVC. I will start copper power tomorrow or the following day once they’re all settled in. I know...

Im 95% sure my fishes have gill flukes. Started with a new fish added. Head twitching, swimming into wavemaker, scratching side of head/gills on rock. So i started hypo @1.009 like 5 days days ago. I did see some change. Fish were scratching less. Fw dipped my scopas(culprit), foxface and coral...

Afternoon all, So I'm relatively new to this but have had a fluval evo for 6 months with no issues what so ever, so far. I've just set up a water box 60.2 and currently have a Royal Gramma and Purple Fire Fish, noticed on Tuesday that the Gramma was not coming out as usual with the Fire Fish...

Ive had this tang for 5 days now. Since the day i got it, it has been doing these 2 things. Along with my other tang and angel but these two not very often. Quite rare to see them doing it now but still happens. I suspected ich or flukes so i started hypo at full 1.009 yesterday evening. They...

A while ago I made the poor decision to purchase a baby ocellaris clown to pair up with my already established mocca clownfish. I Placed him in the DT (which I’m now starting to regret due to the better safety precautions of owning a quarantine system) and he seemed fine for the first couple...

I know this is probably one of the most common questions, but I have been digging the interent for hours, eyes are strained and I can't figure it out. My clownfish has a few white spots and patches on one side of her body. None on fins. She's been breathing fast since yesterday and sitting...

Hey everyone, first post here! I just set up my saltwater tank, got it cycled and added my first and only fish, a firefish goby. My plan with the tank was to add the first fish directly and then set up a QT for all the fish afterwards (realizing that was a poor choice). I got the firefish and he...

Hi everyone, I have several fish in quarantine right now and one of them is this gem tang. He is currently in a 55 gallon hypo-salinity tank with a blue jaw trigger, melanarus wrasse, leopard wrasse, and a pair of long fin clowns. They were in my 265 gallon along when I someone managed to get...

Sorry title is odd - couldn’t figure out how to word it. I am in day 3 of PraziPro treatment for flukes. My fish are way more active than usual racing around the tank. Blue hippo tang - now has minimal rock scratching. Only scratching I’ve noticed that is new is black clownfish. The tiger...

I just did a freshwater bath on my Midas blenny & leopard wrasse. Some white flukes came off but there were little brown round dots also. Almost the size of mini brown pellet food. Also some super tiny black - prob black ich for that one. Thoughts. Of course I already dumped the water so no pics.

Hello everyone! I am noticing quite a bit of flashing from my Midas blenny after recently adding a new purple tang. I noticed a little white and stringy poo coming from the purple tang. They are both eating good. I don’t see any ich on them. I am trying to put all these signs together and see...

Hi all, I have had two clowns for over a year now, and they both went through an initial qt. Unfortunately I don’t have the space for a coral qt and a few new corals were introduced maybe 2 weeks ago. Just yesterday I noticed both of them yawning, however not too frequently. This morning I can...

Hey Everyone, I currently have a very small clown in qt, about 3/4 of an inch which I picked up yesterday. The qt went through a full cycle and there is no ammonia detectable through the API kit as well as the seachem badge. I have currently dosed copper power at about 1.5 and in the next 2-3...

Anyone have experience with prazipro in a mature reef tank? I have gill flukes and trying to weigh the possible consequences on corals and other inverts. Obviously have to take out the feather duster. Anything else?

This has been going on for a week or two I can’t tell if it’s ich or flukes or something else. It’s hard to get good pictures. nitrate is 7.2 Phos 0.07 Salinity 1.025 Ph 8.0

hello everyone! My yellow corris wrasse has been acting strange and I’d like to see what you all think. 2 weeks ago she started hanging out at the top of the tank and darting back and fourth all day. This behaviour hasn’t changed at all since the first time she did it. Im not sure if she is...

Hi everyone, I recently just bought a Regal Angel from my LFS less than a week ago. I have added it into my quarantine but with no copper or other medications to let him settle in and start eating. He has started eating pellets and mysis shrimp! My question is that I have observed it head...

Hi , need help to cure my emperor, I'm new to this and not sure what to do . started a copper treatment . fish are still feeding . But I'm afraid things might go bad soon . any advice? thank you

Ok here's the photos. My gf and I are debating on what the disease actually may be. It only is affecting the tang. I am trying to grow flukes out of the oval shapes, but we also notice raised white spots. We have studied the possible diseases on Humblefish.com and think it might be ick also...

I believe I have prazi resistant flukes in my tank...Wondering how to eradicate them and a method of treatment. How would I go about quarantining fish in hypo salinity? I have a good idea on how to do it, but I just want to make sure I do it correctly. My Display is at 1.026 SG And I have 1 10...

Long story short, my yellow tang suddenly stopped eating and swimming out in the open, had some redness, and also was flashing. I quarantined it in copper and antibiotics for about 10 days, and the entire time in QT it seemed fine (wouldn't eat though). No flashing, healed from the red spots...

On August 8th two new fish were added to my display. Purchased from one of two places I have bought livestock. Wasn’t until after problems started and calling the store for more information and help. That I realized they keep all fish in Sub therapeutic copper. After they have been through QT in...

howdy folks, friendly neighborhood panic specialist... Anyways i was looking at my anthias a week or so ago and i noticed two of them have semi cloudy eyes only in the blue spectrum (see pictures below!) they've been acting normal, eating normal, so i'm wondering what gives???? anyways i...

Hello, I have made a couple posts and comments about this, but figured I'd give it one last try to see if people can maybe help me pin point the issue my tang is having. Here's a breakdown. About 6 days ago I noticed my YT hiding in the shade and not eating normally. Usually very active...

Hi I did QT-ed my clownfish for 28 days with 0.5 cupramine as instructed. Unfortunately , he has white spots (1 on each side of his gills) Its symmetrical and its possibly not ich? He was in the QT with 3 other fish (wrasse, chromis, fire goby) put in at the same time. Other 3 is completely...
