ich outbreak

So I’ve lost about 10 fish already including 2 tangs, 5 clownfish, algae blenny and an anthias. I have 2 wrasse left, 2 chromis and a goby with no signes All the inverts you can get basically and loads of coral. All permittees are stable and lights are dimmed down, I’ve put the temp up to...

Hi, [BACKGROUND] I have been keeping FW fish for over a decade but this past December, I stepped into SW Fishkeeping. I had a 55G freshwater converted to SW tank and I recently sized up to a 120G RedSea peninsula reef tank (LPS+SPS). Last week, I added Ebili Angelfish, Flame Angelfish...

Bad ich outbreak, looks like it's on my coral and fish. Still really new to the hobby. What do you all suggest

Last night I noticed the spots on my skunk clowns, so I spent 3 hours getting them out of the tank and put them in QT and started copper treatment. Now tonight my white tail bristletooth tang has it and it’s much worse than my clowns. The problem is that my QT tank is 10 gallons and I cannot fit...

I am new to this community and am experiencing Ich. Based on my observations, I suspect that my two clownfish developed ich due to stress. I think the issue began when I introduced a damselfish and a Talbot into my tank. The damselfish exhibited aggressive behavior toward the Talbot, which...

Hello I have a 100 gallon salt water fish only tank that has ich. I have puffers, a large angle an eel and multiple wrasse. I really need to get the ich out and do not want to harm my puffers in the process. I would like to treat the whole tank. What is the best recommendations? I do not have...

I know it's been discussed over and over but wanted to add my 2c to new reefers. I've been in the hobby right at two years and played the game of no qt the whole time. It finally got me and lost a coral beauty, kole tang, black cap, and flame angel to ich. I treated with kick ich with fingers...

Hi y'all, I came home today to a rather terrifying sight of multiple fish having little white specs starting from their fins and am fearing the worse, Ich. So far the fish i've seen with ich are: B+W Heniochus, Lunar Wrasse, Clown Tang, and a Stripped Dogface Puffer. There are also a wide...

Hi all, It’s been a few weeks now since introducing my copperband into the display and it’s eating well on live black worms, clams and muscles. It has a strong appetite and it seems like I picked up a good one.. until last night I observed Ich on the fins/tail. It’s almost impossible to...

We had a mass ich killin breakout, which ended up killing all our fish. We treated it with the hyper safe copper and also did a API general cure treatment. We bought a uv light and put it in the tank and were about to do a 50% water change and then we’re going to treat it with Ich X. Am i...

Hey everyone, Just went 90 days fallow after having velvet. After the 90 days was up I put my Achilles tang in an acclimation box for a few days was all good - has been in tank for 3 weeks no issues. Added a blue hippo, purple and yellow 2 days ago all after 40 days of copper power 2.40+...

My fish have been in copper quarantine protocol for the past 19 days at a ppm of 2.03-2.1. I moved them to quarantine due to ich outbreak in the DT. When I moved them over the only one showing symptoms was my blue hippo tang. A day after starting treatment all signs of ich were gone. On day 19...

Hey everyone so I have a 91 gallon Red Sea reefer 350 g2+. Fish about a week ago seemed to break out with what I think is ich. I ruled out velvet because based on what I’m reading all the fish would be dead by now. I have one purple tang, 1 baby one spot foxface, 1 baby copperband, 2 clowns, and...

Just got ich/velvet so planning 90 day fallow. I'm fine with QT fishes and inverts but think I can't be patient enough for qt for coral frag swaps. Hydrogen peroxide has been used as coral dips for algae so I am wondering anyone used it to bypass frag quarantine assuming the chemically violent...

Hey ya’ll! I have a large volitan lionfish that’s been acting lathargic and not eating. Then I noticed a heniocus butterfly going to town on his fins. Then noticed some ich spots on the lion. I did a cupramine dose to help with the ich but I think he may be having some gastro issues. I’m seeing...

Does anyone have suggestions for treating ich in my mixed reef tank? My tomini tang appears to have a good bit of white spots on his body. My clown has been acting really weird, breathing heavy, frayed fins. (I did a paragard dip today) My yellow wrasse is flashing against the Rocks. The...

So guys I recently bought this zoster butterfly fish and I don’t recall ever seeing white spots on its actual pattern . I feel like they popped up about three days ago can somebody confirm is it’s ich or some other sort of disease thank you Fish is eating fine but recently started window surfin

First time fish owner, I adopted this 75g with its 12 guys, inverts (cories, plecko, snails) and fish (glofish). about half the glos got Ich, i didnt notice until it was severe, I thought they were air bubbles??? When we realized we rushed to local fish store, she gave us "rid ich" said they...

realized this morning my puffer is starting to get white spots on his fins. Put him in a QT tank and currently dosed kick ich and rally pro. Has anyone has good luck with this? Should I not waste my time and go straight to copper? I’ve heard mixed reviews and I really don’t want to lose my fish...

Suddenly couple fish died couple days ago (longnose butterfly, powder blue tang, puffer) and today some fish don't look good. I haven't add new fish for a while and all new fish always quarantine at least two weeks. Is this ich or something else? Tested for ammonia (0), ph kinda low but manage...

Hi all, I’m so depressed that this is my first post. I’ve been reading these forums since starting my tank up in June of last year and it’s been super helpful. Hoping to get some advice as there’s a lot of approaches I’ve seen for ich management and treatment. I had a red Firefish goby that...

Hello! I posted about this fish a while back, he has gone through some weird stuff. I have had him for roughly 6-8 months now, first four or so he had this weird looking bacterial infection on left side. I have another thread about that. He was first fish in tank. He would occasionally get an...

I noticed today that my clownfish have white bumps on their skin. Both clowns are the size of a quarter and less than a year old. I dont think it is velvet as the bumps are too big and not as numerous. I have shrimp and invers in my tank. 1: I have a 29 gallon display with HOB filters (floss...
