ich treatment

I have a 500 l tank with a bunch of tangs. It's been running for almost 3 months now. The Leucosternon was added almost 3 weeks ago. The ich he got is slowly starting to get worse and my Magnificent Foxface has some now, as well (he looks like he's healing though!). I have 4 cleaner shrimp (2...

Hello, I have a tank that has been struggling with ich for months, there are fish in it that seem unaffected and are doing fine (hippo, wrasse, clownfish, eel), but other fish have terrible outbreaks. I moved this porcupine to a hospital tank and have been treating him with paraguard. He was...

So a couple of days ago I saw 2 of my fish had ich. I tried fishing them out but was unsuccessful. Now my goby is completely spotless ,my royal gramma is out in the open like normal, and all my other fish look completely normal. I did buy a UV sterilizer but it got delayed until today. Is it...

Is there any reef safe Ich medicine or remedy? I already have copper for a qt tank but I don’t know if I’ll be able to get my sick gramma or clown goby out my tank. Of course I’ll keep trying and even move my rock scape if I have too. Both of them are well fed and healthy before getting sick so...

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...

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...

Hey everyone! I’m starting hyposalinity treatment for ich tomorrow and have been gradually adding RO water to the tank over the past 24 hours. I’ll reach a salinity level of 1.009 within the next 24 hours. I’m treating my display tank because it’s a mangrove setup with no other animals aside...

Hi! I'm relatively new to keeping fish. About a year ago, i had to test my tank with cupramine to get rid of ich. The snails I couldn't remove died almost instantly when i added cupramine. This time i removed the emails i could, dosed my 30 gallon fresh water tank with 32 drops of cupramine...

I apologize since I'm sure this has been asked a million times and I know I heard this question on a podcast somewhere but can't remember which one. I've had a purple tang in quarantine for the past 2 weeks at therapeutic level copper power (2.5ish). Thankfully he is doing super well even after...

Hey guys, So I'm semi new to the hobby (a year?), and had a couple of Ich outbreaks. I didn't do the QT setup and all, so I went into Ich management. Feeding fish (tangs, damsels, garden eels, doctor wrasse, trigger) and inverts (strawberry conch, hermit crabs) and one anemone. All eating...

I have a 75 gallon setup that I bought used. So far the only inhabitants are a fox face, a damsel and two clowns, with a few snails. Had a butterfly fish at one point that introduced ick to the tank. I have since set up a small quarantine tank and managed to get the clowns under control however...

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...

These two white dots appeared on his tail. I'm leaving for a trip Monday and I'm really worried if it could be ich. I don't want my tank to get wiped out. Currently don't have my qt set up because I wasn't expecting anything. I'm running UV. Dosed Prazi in the tank following normal procedures...

I was waiting for my 20G to cycle and treat all my fish for ich, however when I got home I saw this little guys on the sand bed breathing very hard. So I made pace for him in a small nano I had. He’s been in for roughly 4 hours and the breathing has slowed down, I’ve seen him a little more...

Hello I had an Ich outbreak in my tank took all the fish out and put them in copper power 2.5ppm and nitrofurazone they’ve been in there for 5 weeks already. All the fish are fine except for my hippo tang. He got better for a week or so than a week later now for the past 2 weeks he’s been...

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...

***Sorry in advance for the long read***if you’ve had experience with Ich/Brook…I would love your advice and feedback! Starting a week ago I noticed my black clownfish had what I thought was Ich. Initially I did RODI dip—helped significantly, almost all spots fell off and started treating DT...

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...

I have recently joined the hobby roughly 3 months ago and my copper that is 2 weeks new to me is showing some white spots on the fins. I’ve never seen ich before and looking at many different threads I’m still unsure to what this is exactly. Any help is much appreciated.

I recently added my first inhabitants to my display tank, 2 Red Sea clownfish and a turbo snail. They are all seemingly healthy, except that the larger female clownfish has a suspected ich white spot on her skin directly next to her eye. Since I have not added any corals to the tank yet, should...

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...

Hi Everyone! We just got this guy a week ago and I love him so much. Worried he may have Ich. Any thoughts? He’s healthy and seems active and happy. Eats well. But he dive bombs and rolls in the sand sometimes. Thought he was playing but not sure.

I came back from work today with a new flame fin tomini tang and before I put him in, I noticed that my domino damsel, purple tang, and fu man chi lion all had white spots. I’m not sure if it’s ich but if it is. I’d like to treat it as soon as possible.

Hi There! We have had our CBB for a little over a month now. Before I get started, Gill eats almost 2 clams a day or Mussels (out of Clams) and Mysis shrimp constantly. He is always swimming around and very agile. Lastly, our water levels are all spot on. Today I noticed the 2-3 white specs on...

I have a blue damsel that is starting to show signs of ICH. Been monitoring it for a few days and the spots seem to move and over the last week have increased from his tailfins to the top part of his top fins. However, it seems perfectly fine. Not sluggish eats like crazy blah blah. I have a...
