ich

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 think I have ich but would really like to confirm. I have attached a video of my powder brown tang. Any feedback is really appreciated.

Hello, I recently added a Magnificent Foxface to my mixed reef tank. Its been a few days and I just noticed this spot on my foxface, I am worried its my first encounter with ich. Fish looked fine at the LFS, fish is eating well and swimming fine, no aggression issues besides some light chasing...

They do not look like the usual ich to me, is it velvet? added about 4 days ago. still eating well and behaving normally, frozen and nori. Thank you in advance. Should I be qt it and try catch it out? All other fish are behaving fine. Tank is around a year old.

I want to get your guys opinion on this. I’m not sure what’s wrong with my clown fish. One of them is breathing extremely fast and was swimming erratically in the flow from my wave maker. The one that is breathing fast is the one that looks completely fine. The other one with the white gash on...

I’ve had this PBT for a week now, proactively treated with prazi first (for 5 days) did a 50% WC and started copper power. Raised copper to 2.5 over the coarse of 48hrs. Found it lying on the bottom of the tank this morning barely moving. Did a freshwater dip and it sadly passed. Can anyone tell...

Hi friends, long time lurker first time poster. I recently had a FOWLR tank have a terrible ich outbreak and lost several fish, a lunare wrasse and hippo tang survived and have been successfully treated in a quarantine tank. I have a snowflake eel from the same tank who is in a separate...

Is this possible inch at the end of my butterfly fishes tail? A few white spots

Hey reefers, I'm stumped with this one and I really need a second opinion from more experienced reefers I got this foxface along with 3 other fish from my lfs the 5th of July. They were all treated with chloroquine phosphate for 14 days and the foxface was treated a 1st round of prazipro...

Good morning, I realized I posted this in the wrong topic, so wanted to repost in here. I recently noticed that there is ich on my trigger and grouper. The tank (300 gallons) has only been up and running for about 8 months, and so far the only inhabitants are the trigger, grouper, a banana eel...

Good evening, I recently noticed that there is ich on my trigger and grouper. The tank (300 gallons) has only been up and running for about 8 months, and so far the only inhabitants are the trigger, grouper, a banana eel and a banded cat shark. I am removing the grouper and the trigger and...

back story: my mimic tang was being treated with copper power (2.2-2.3ppm) from 6/6 thru 6/17 with 9 other fish in a 40 gal breeder. The mimic and foxface were the few fish that would not eat. 6/18: I moved them to individual 5 gal quarantine tanks and continue to treat with copper power (at...

Good afternoon y’all, I’ve got a bit of an issue I was hoping I could receive some guidance on. A little backstory- I just started my first saltwater tank a few months back, it’s a 32 biocube. Prior to that years ago I had a 90 gallon fancy goldfish freshwater tank I loved with everything I had...

I hope i’m posting in the right area. This was my clown. 1st pic was him Sunday (June 22). Second pic was him Tuesday morning (June 24) and tuesday night, he died. I didnt think anything of the white stuff on him because i’ve had him about two years and before this, he’s had spots like that and...

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 all, I’m new to the hobby and have realised I probably rushed things by not QTing my first 3 fish. I started with 2 clowns and then a blue tang. I’m fairly certain the tang was patient zero of the ich. It has survived thus far but the two clowns sadly died. As a result I’ve decided I...

Hello y’all, purchased a tomini tang 9 days ago and stuck in observation tank along with a chromis. In store I thought the white spots were sand stirred up getting caught, but I have noticed they haven’t disappeared. Store has a good quarantine process for 2+ weeks in copper for all non copper...

Hello reefers, After 20+ yrs of keeping fish I have my first encounter with ich. I am in the process of setting up a treatment tank. My question is regarding a separate tank that I currently have cycling. I seeded it with some ceramic media blocks, LR, and some water from my main tank about a...

Hello, ive had a pair of clownfish for about two months. Since day 1 they have been eating and acting totally normal. But today i noticed a small white spot/patch on its side. They are both still acting normal, no labored breathing or other weird behaviors. Is this something I should be worried...

hi! I recently set up my first salt water fish tank- 20 gallons. I started with 2 clownfish in mid February. They have been doing great. 2 weeks ago I added a watchman goby and all was good. But yesterday I started noticing some funny behavior from one of the clowns- he was resting on the sand...

I have a 75G tank and for the past 3-4 days I have noticed a couple of my fish do some excess scratching on the rock or sandbed. Today I noticed a few (very small) spots on my tang and royal gramma. I decided to be proactive and treat with Coppersafe with a little bit of Safeguard for stress...

Got this mandarian a day ago appears starved swims at surface and seems lethargic any ideas? The spots appeared in about 1 day i only have a clown fish and he's been fine for a month.

Hello everyone, this tang was given to me by a friend because I am currently setting up a larger tank and it outgrew his. It was in my tank for a month as the other tank is cycling. This morning I noticed these large white spots out of no where- seems nothing like ich or velvet. But also too...

IT'S BEEN A TOUGH FEW WEEKS Y'ALL! After losing a some of my beloved fish fam I almost wanted to just give up the whole hobby to be honest. But after getting my remaining fish back to healthy and vibrant I wanted to make this post as more a "lesson learned" post to hopefully help someone else...
