flukes

Hi everyone, so here is another question in the net about powder blues in qt and possible diseases. I've probably read all of them but I would like to have you guys opinion on my personal case. I have a Powder Blue Tang in QT since exactly 3 weeks now and it is eating very well since the...

I would greatly appreciate your advice regarding the identification of and treatment for a "fluke" that has recently infested my tank and Paracanthurus tang. I have a marine aquarium that is heavily infested with some form of monogeneans. One fish exhibits overt disease ("blue tang"...

Most of us believe that quarantining your fish is the best approach to avoid diseases wiping out our entire tank. I think most will agree on that. But ... does it also safe more fish lives overall?

Our tang developed spots and stringy threadlike things hanging off his body, now showing on his side fins. Been told it is ich but the description says spots, not strings. Have been treating with Polyplab but it's getting worse. Please help diagnose! Can supply photos tomorrow, blue lights are on

I'm on week 2 of treating my 340 gallon mixed reef with Prazipro. I treated 2 weeks ago - removed all carbon and no skimmer, treated for 72 hours, did 2-3 water changes in the last week and ran carbon the entire week for exactly 7 days. I started the second treatment on Friday afternoon and...

I have had my Exquisite Fairy Wrasse for a couple weeks and I’ve noticed that he has a weird sore/mark on his right side just below the dorsal fin. I already posted about this in another thread & I thought maybe it was just a scrape from the rocks or something. Today, I noticed that it looks a...

Hi y’all. I’ve had this bicolor blenny for well over a month and about two weeks ago I noticed him coming down from his rock and kicking up sand in the same exact spot every single time. Note i’ve never seen him flash on the rocks. It almost seems as if he’s just kicking up sand with his tail...

Hello! I recently had an ich outbreak in my DT. When that happened, I setup a QT tank, and treated the fish in Copper Power for 30 days (2.0 - 2.5 concentration), and PraziPro for 10 days. Then, while my DT tank continues to be fallow, I put the clownfish into a sterile larger tank with PVC...

Hi all, was hoping you could help me figure out what is going on......posted a video so you could see. Some fish have white spots, but it looks like too many to be Ich and the clowns have a couple black spots They’re still eating, but not as ravenously as usual. They’re in QT and we are trying...

Hello, I have a Red Fin Fairy Wrasse wich was doing very well until this past Monday when I found it laying in the sand with some type of mocus, it was very lethargic and he was not eating. I observe and research what could this be and at night I catch it and gave it a bath in Rally. During...

It all started when I added a midas a few months ago and ever since then any new fish I add to the tank will always die after a week or two however it does not affect inverts. The symptoms displayed are a reduction in appetite but still eating and gently pacing the glass. At the end the fish...

Hi everyone, I’m having trouble with a fluke like worm that has survived 30 days of cupramine at 0.5 as well as 3 weeks of prazi at double the dose every 4 days, as the first go round didn’t eliminate them. I removed all medicine 3 days ago and saw them flashing again today. Did a freshwater...

Hey guys I just picked up a tang and it’s swimming super weird. It twitches it’s head often but it also goes near the surface at times and freaks out. Just curious if anyone can identify this disease so I can cure this little bugger. The video doesn’t do it too much justice but hope it helps...

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...

Hey everyone I noticed these small little blobs moving around on my screen few days ago. I didn’t dope any copepods but just some more one and only from dr time and another fluval beneficial bacteria. Should I be taking any action? Hope these aren’t flukes? Thanks!

Hey everyone, So I am a little frustrated because I can’t figure out what’s on my hippo tang. A little over 4 weeks ago I placed all fish in a hospital tank and treated for what I suspected to be velvet. After 4 weeks of cupramine treatment maintained between 0.45 and 0.55 I am still seeing...

Attempted to rescue this juvi desjardini Tang. He looked emaciated in the store, with a countable number of small white dots on his fins. Here is what he looked like yesterday. After bringing him home, upon closer inspection he had a couple of nodules on his eyes. Per recommendations in...

I've been recently posting about my yellow tang in QT who has been stressed out for the last week or so. I just did a 10% water change (temp and salinity match). Following the guidance of some helpful members on this forum, his stress has gone down. I've kept all lights off, added more Nori to...

Hello guys, I have a clownfish and diamond goby in a 20g QT tank. 2 days since purchased. They’ve been getting light feeding and seem okay. The goby is shy and stays hidden behind PVC. The clown has some tissue degradation. Looks like skin peeling, on his tail, and fins. I’ve started dosing...

My fish have flukes and I have some questions on treatment Is a freshwater dip necessary? How safe is it to treat with prazi pro in tank? I have various lps and soft corals and a pocilopora, no inverts except a snail and amphipods. Should I worry about the pods? How do I treat and for how long...
