ich ?

Hi! I’ve had copper in my tank for a while now (2.5ppm on Hanna tester) and I’m seeing more and more white spots on many different fish. Despite the concentration being high for many weeks, more spots keep forming. It’s a 75 gallon fowlr tank with sand and live rock. Any advice? The pics show...

Does this look like ich, worms, or something else?

Any ideas what this is? Been in quarantine 20 days with copper power at 2.50ppm checked regular with Hanna tester along with other fish after a ich outbreak, was the least effected fish, all others are mark and ich free now but this

Hi, new to saltwater keeping and got this new tomato clown from a pet store. It has one tiny white dot and they said it was just sand but for about a month he is just starting to look ragged. Unsure if this is ich but would love to treat it to prevent any further suffering. Please help! Download...

Hi everyone, I’m new to having an account but not new to reading these forums! I have a 2 year old Cowfish and he’s started to rapidly decline over the last 3 days. What started out as a few white spots progressed to white cloudy eyes and swimming kind of sideways. Today he has been trying to...

Honestly just looking for confirmation of what I believe is Ich. Planning on setting up a 40g QT if it is. Should have done it before hand but I’m that impatient guy who’s never had an issue with other fish lol. white spots on his left and another on his right. He did go in recently and was...

Help!! I went down to my tank today and noticed these brown/black, kind of raised spots on my foxface rabbitfish. Parameters are all in check, they’re checked every other day. He’s eating well and I haven’t noticed any odd or new behaviours. He always has a healthy supply of nori and eats the...

I have had my tomini tang in the display for roughly 1 month. Although it is not breathing heavily, scratching/flashing, etc, it does seem to have some white spots on its fins. I just noticed the spots today. I've done some research and seen that this could also be fin ray fractures or lympho...

My first display tank seems to be showing signs of ich but I’m not sure. It’s a 240 and if it is ich I don’t know where to go with all my fish. Right now only 2 neon cleaner gobies are showing any signs. I have a Sailfin tang that I assumed would be the first fish to show signs if anything went...

Hello I woke up today and looked at my fish tank when all of a sudden I spotted something on both my tangs. I have a yellow tang and blue tang the size of a quarter each. The blue tang and yellow tang have a few white spots which I assume are ich. Is this something I have to take them out and...

My clownfish (had for 3 months) has developed white spots on his body, the other clownfish (in dt for 1 month) sometimes lays on the sand. All fish in tank, except the full black clownfish pictured were quarantined (observed) (black hood was first fish). Is this ich or something more insidious...

Hello I treated this copperband with chloroquine phosphate for 14 days then transfered him to sterile tank. During observation I observed these "bumps" almost completely invisible when looking at his side but see them when he faces me I started a prazi treatment in the qt tank. Just need 100%...

I have been having some issues regarding the flame angelfish, there were some unidentifiable white spots all over him which i assumed to be ich, it hadn't been spreading to anyone else at the time and he was still energetic and eating like a champ. I was running UV and adding...

I saw these white spots on my bristletooth tang 2 nights, ago. Today was the first opportunity I had to get a good video. Does this look like ich or Velvet? The spots haven't spread and behavior remains normal aside from the spots, he's eating like a pig and swimming normally. Any opinions would...

Hi community, The fish seems happy and swims everywhere, but this patch seems to get worse? I thought it would be a sting from the anemone! Tube, maybe it is. I did bring the anemone to the store for a better home, as it was taking over my tank. Is this a parasite? And is it curable?

Hi! I’m new to the reefing hobby as of about 5 months ago. I have a RedSea Nano G2 Peninsula (26 gallon tank). I’ve heard about Ich, and know it can affect the whole tank if I’m not careful. My current inhabitants are: 2 Clownfish, One Diamond Goby, One BlueSpotted Jawfish, and an Orchid...

Hello y’all, purchased a tomini tang 9 days ago and stuck in observation tank along with a chromis. In store I thought the white spots were sand stirred up getting caught, but I have noticed they haven’t disappeared. Store has a good quarantine process for 2+ weeks in copper for all non copper...

I just noticed my butterfly has a white spot on his fin. I am hoping that someone could tell me what this is.

New mandarian these white spots gave popped up 1 day after I bought him he also is starved I found.

Hi Again, So today when I returned back from work, I noticed my copperband that arrived 3 days ago and was undergoing copper treatment QT had its one eye massively swollen than the other. It also has small spores like substance around its fins. I am not sure what the disease here is. The QT...

Is this the dreaded ich? Just got three cleaner goby’s. All three are now showing white spots. At this point none of the other fish have anything similar.

I'm quiet concerned about my clownfish. This morning it ate normally and now it's not eating tonight when I took a closer look at it noticed some off pinkish white colors on the scales. Its behavior has been relatively normal, maybe a little less energetic like usual, but the white dots do...

Noticed these dots on my clownfish today. They aren't very apparent in the white light but are very noticeable in the blue light. It's a 16 gallon reef tank. The tank is rather new. I've only had it for a couple months and I added the fish roughly a month ago, after the tank was fully cycled...
