ich

Hi everyone, I recently just bought a Regal Angel from my LFS less than a week ago. I have added it into my quarantine but with no copper or other medications to let him settle in and start eating. He has started eating pellets and mysis shrimp! My question is that I have observed it head...

My tank has ich and I added a wrasse 2 months ago and it’s doing well. Until today I noticed my tail spot Blenny wasn’t doing too well and i have black clownfish and he’s an easy indicator that I have ich. How did I all of sudden have ich ?? I’m going to start treating it with cooper immediately

Hey you guys. Got this brand new Anthias fish and put it in QT. The following day I notice it has this white patch. Does it look like ICH? Or lympho? Thanks you guys.

Hi there, Unfortunately, my Powder Blue Tang had just passed from what I think is ich. It was in a quarantine tank at a copper therapeutic level of 2.08ppm. Can anyone confirm this death to be from ich? Thank you.

Hello everyone, I recently got 2 Clownfish for my saltwater fish tank. And its been about 5 days since I got them and this morning the fish looked fine. But as soon as I got back from school today I saw some bizarre white spots/splotches on one of them. I’m guessing its Ich but I’m not 100%...

So I have recently noticed that my flameback angel has a few ich spots on it. They are much more noticeable under the blue light than they are the white but I am pretty certain it is ich. I know the best way to treat this is with copper in a quarantine tank but I unfortunately do not have the...

The study everyone references about aerosol transmission of A. ocellatum dinospores might be overblown. Pun intended. It seems everybody references this article, and the 3m transmission distance, but they only reference the abstract. Have we accepted that QT and DTs MUST be ~3m apart based on...

Would anyone happen to know ways that will immediately kill ich/velvet (c. irritans) and (a. ocellatum)? The tanks I'm trying to treat are completely empty, with no livestock. I have copper in them at concentrations of about 0.6ppm and have the temp all the way up to 95F. I've been trying to...

Hello my box fish got something like ick I have reef rally pro and kick ich pro with me rn what should I do to treat him , a fresh water bath ? Please help I don’t want him to die

Regarding a CORAL ONLY QT tank, that may or may not also have an invert. In order to be sure any corals that come in wont bring in ICH/Velvet that is on it's bony base or frag plug, I will treat the coral QT process like fallow period, around 70-80 days or something before it goes into the...

Hi Everyone! I’ve decided to hop on here and start a thread based on my on going experience with hypo salinity in an establish aquarium. I have a Red Sea 900 with a decent amount of livestock in it. Currently in it is an XL clown Tang, XL Powder Blue, L Gold Rim Tang, M desjardini, M Hippo...

Hello All, Newer reefer. I picked up some tangs in November from an LFS (Hippo, Purple, Sailfin, Kole). I quarantined them for a month, then added to the 180 gal display. The Kole Tang started showing some milky white spots the first few days, then they disappeared. Looking at the Kole...

Hi, I’m having a problem at the moment with white-spot in my 50 litre saltwater aquarium. About 1 month ago I bought two coral gobies for my tank that both ended up introducing ich. I started immediately treating with polyp lab reef medic to try to help (I also have a purple Firefish, scooter...

Hi , need help to cure my emperor, I'm new to this and not sure what to do . started a copper treatment . fish are still feeding . But I'm afraid things might go bad soon . any advice? thank you

Hello, I’ve been treating my display with polyp lab medic due to a possible ich/velvet outbreak. I was told it is more than likely ich so I didn’t panic and quarantine all my fish. This morning I came in to see my kole tang sucked against the overflow and barely hanging on to life. I immediately...

I am sharing my experience beating (living with) ich/velvet by doing nothing except maintaining good water quality and movement and increasing the quantity, quality and variety of foods offered to the fish in my DT. Hi all. I'm a big fan of R2R and the many perspectives I've gained over the...

I have had a case of what I think was brooklynella in the past 5 months. It started with my clownfish and they ended up dying despite our medication. We got a second batch of fish 4/5 weeks as per recommended by our fish guy, and they ended up dying of the disease too. We weren't able to treat...

Hi All, last week I purchased Royal Gramma and placed it in a QT tank. After few days I saw it scratching against the heater and I started copper (copper safe) treatment. Copper lever is on 2ppm according to API test kit. Two days later and I see it scratching every now and then. Sometimes 3-4...

Hey guys so I just wanted more input but I’ve been trying to keep clownfish in my tank, I’ve been taking my water weekly to WWC and LFS for test and everything is fine, all my parameters are fine, I’ve been able to keep in the tank a Hippo Blue tang, purple tang, chromis and a blue throat...

It’s as the title says I noticed 2 little ich spots on my fox face rabbit fish treated it with the last of my paraguard and finished up with api super ich treatment it cleared up and the day I was supposed to do my 25% change I noticed black specs on it can anybody identify them? My parameters...

Hey guys, I have an odd ball question, so in my tank stock I have a Purple Tang, Blue tang, blue throat trigger, pistol shrimp with a pistol goby and a red scooter. My tank parameters are all normal I’ve taken multiple water samples to World Wide Coral and run a full test and they’ve said...

okay so, I have had ich in the past due to not having room for a quarrantine tank, and in my experience the ich is visible for a day or 2 then it drops off the fish and multiplies. Ever since I moved house a year ago ive been able to put a quarrantine tank in the spare room. so I took all my...

Hey guys , I’m looking to see if anyone can help me identify what’s wrong with my green chromis. A little over 2 days ago , I introduced him into my DT without quarantining him (Huge mistake on my end) and all seemed well for the time being, except for some minor clown aggression. This morning...

We have a Pinktail Trigger and a Porupine Puffer that we dont know if this is Ich or Velvet, the trigger was treated with two rally baths and FW dips as well as 30+ days in CopperSafe and still has white spots. We just moved them last night to a new and sterile QT tank with no medications. Is...

How to use bleach solution to eradicate Ich Tomont's inside a chiller? I have run a 10% bleach solution through it and then run fresh tap water through it for 3 hours, but am unsure if this will be enough to fully detoxify the chiller before installing it on my display tank. I don't think air...
