ich copper

I recently got a wild caught female black boxfish approx. 6 days ago. Size 2.5-3" and seemed very healthy and active. No visible damages except for a tiny opaque tear in one fin that's barely noticeable. I got it from a holding facility where they export fish from and they said she eats chopped...

Hello R2R Community, Recently I brought home a new purple tang. I was under the impression that the LFS ran copper for all their stock and it seems that may not have been the case. Regardless, I also never took full precautions on my end prior to this particular fish, so it is also highly...

Hey All! Looking to get help and ensure the diagnosis is appropriate. I had my clowns get what was originally determined to be ich…and they were covered. Transferred and stood up 10 gallon QT and they’ve been doing well. Their appetites are still very much there and almost all of it is gone...

Hey guys, I’ve had this gem in copper QT for about two weeks. He’s eating great and has put on noticeable mass since. It is active all day and is even territorial when I linger in front of the tank. This is my first Gem so not sure if the spots on him are just natural coloration or if it...

QUARANTINE! I've really dove into the rabbithole of QT. It's not really something that people in my reefing community do on this side of the world and gratefully having the space I thought i'd attempt to do so as best I can. I would appreciate any and all help to improve or remind me of what I...
