ich

Hi all, I'm looking for some advice on my new tank and 2 clowns. The fish have been added 5 days ago. For a little while all was looking well but now i'm worried for the small clown. Both off the clowns had white stringy poo in the first days and didn't eat much. The larger clown is now eating...

My scopas tang just passed away from ich. Now I noticed two of my other fish are having the white spots and I want to catch it before it gets worse. I know copper is an option but I don’t want to kill my coral. Any tips?

Hey y'all! I'm looking for some guidance. I currently have a Coral Beauty in a QT. I got the fish on 2/14/20 and a few days later noticed some white spots on it's forehead area. I wanted to give the fish a chance to acclimate to its new environment and it was eating like a pig and swimming...

My tang came down with this about 10 days ago and it spread to my blue jaw trigger, royal gramma, and both clowns. The gramma has since passed. The fish are clearly distressed but still take food.

Hi all, very long time reader-first time poster on this new account since I haven’t a clue what i used as a login years ago. Hopefully some of the legends such as @Humblefish may chime in on this one. Purchased a longnose butterfly a month ago from a not so great LFS via a deal I couldn’t pass...

I have my hippo in a QT to treat for what seems to be ich. I have my other fish in the display and am worried they could develop ich as well. I picked up Kick ich and Rally. Has anybody used this in there display?

Hello I had Ich and I think Velvet in the DT, I took all the fish out and in to QT for the copper treatment, left the DT fishless for 76 days. Its back after 4 weeks of putting the fish back in...... WHY is that ...... I put nothing in the DT tank for the 76 days QT was 15ft away what have I...

Hi everyone. I'm stressing over here. I've had this Picasso clown for about a year now and he's now showing signs of ich or maybe brook. His partner jumped out of the tank a few days ago so I got him a replacement maybe four days later but they seem to be getting along just fine. All the other...

ive been quarantining this hippo tang for 2.5 months now and everything else ive quarantined (in different tanks) that i bought at the same time as the hippo had been fully cured and are now in the DT. sadly i cant say the same thing for the hippo. the hippo has been a pig, eating alot, since...

Hello. I’m not sure if this is ich or not! Someone please help. You can not really see it but it is only on his back fin so I’m guessing maybe fungal?

Hey guys, I have a Yellow tang that is in a 20G QT with two small clowns and is very unhappy. She has what looks like ich on her fin and eye, torn dorsal fin, and these . I treated them with Praziquantel for 8 days, they have been treated with "Coper Power" at 2.0ppm for two weeks now. She eats...

Just noticed 2 white spots (almost looks like grains of salt) on the left side of my sailfin tang, as well as what looks to be scratches behind its eyes. He’s still eating, not aggressive or agitated, and I don’t see him scraping up on rocks. But those marks still worry me, does anyone know what...

Hello Reef2reef community! I wanted to start a thread pertaining to a research paper that I found online about C.irritans and a potential treatment option. Here is a link to the document -> https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6344632/pdf/AEM.01982-18.pdf In their abstract, they...

So I had gone through an ich outbreak and long story short, I had a few unfortunate deaths. My powder brown, cleaner wrasse, clownfish and damsels. The only survivor was my diamond goby and probably because they are quite disease resistant and he was constantly getting cleaned by my shrimp. He...

Hey guys, new reefer here. SO last night one of our 2 Banggai Cardinals died. Here's the timeline, 4:30 - roommate arrives home and both cardinal fish are swimming normally 8:00 - I notice one cardinal is missing. Find it on bottom side of tank gasping rapidly 9:00 - fed tank and all fish...

My bursa trigger scratches his right side on the sand and rock often after eating. Video is attached. He is eating well and has no visible signs of ich or scratches on him. Please let me know if you have any ideas. Thanks in advance.

Bought these clowns a week ago. The white one looks to have a white spot. Thanks.

One of the big concerns people seem to have with Quarantine Tanks is the additional cost. After dropping hundreds to thousands of dollars on a Display Tank, the last thing many might be inclined to do is buy another set of equipment that they will only use infrequently... After a trip to Petco...

Hi, is this ich? my hippo tang seems well and normal. Eating well, no unusual behaviour etc it has been in my tank for over 9 months now. I can’t see any spots on any other fish. Everyone else seems fine. I have a QT tank I can get up and running if needed. if this is ich can someone point...

Hi, So today I noticed a single white spot on my clownfish, it looks slightly elevated from the body and I didn’t notice it yesterday. I have had fish in the tank for 2 months now, I also added a black Molly to see if there are any diseases and it did not show any signs, so I assumed my tank...

Hi there I noticed that my salinity had risen to 1.030 yesterday so I started to bring it down and got it to 1.026/7 I just come home from work to find my powder blue tang like this I was wondering if it was the salinity that’s caused him stressed and this is white spot that’s developed or...

Last resort for my clownfish was a freshwater dip after the medication I was using did nothing. Did a freshwater dip for a little over 5 minutes because he was swimming around so much I couldn’t catch him. Seemed like he was doing great, barely had to physically move him and make him swim. Saw...

I’ve had my tang for 3 weeks now & it’s been fine. It’s still swimming fine, eating good, not acting unusual at all. I’m feeding it seaweed with garlic & he has a great appetite as you can see in the video. I’m suspecting this to be ich but all my other fish look fine & don’t have anything...

Hello everybody; I’m looking for information about UV Sterilizers. I have recently gone through a ich nightmare, (I am in Canada and there is limited medication available it was truly brutal) and I am looking for things that may help me avoid this going forward. I was wondering if anyone has...
