ich

My clown has small white dots on him for a few days now and they keep multiplying as the days go by, I've had him since May with no problems. I just want to confirm whether this is ich or brook.

Wanting to catch this early before it’s to late, is this a sign of marine velvet? My clown rang is eating a lot and doesn’t seem to be bothered just once or twice swiping against the sand on same side of discoloration. I have UV sterilizer running in display tank and was thinking about adding...

Hi All, So I have posted a few times with various issues over the last 6 months but am at a stage now where not entirely sure what to do... My 300L tank has been through hypo to treat a case of Ich and has been back up at normal levels for around 6 weeks. Ich seems to be back and my dog-faced...

Yesterday I lost a bicolor blenny, and after looking closer at my fish I noticed that my clownfish looks like it may have Brook or Velvet, could someone help me id and have any advice on treatment? His behavior looks ok for now, no itching and swimming around and he’s eating a bit. I hope it’s...

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...

Was in QT tank for 4 weeks. Put in display tank two days ago. Looks like the start of ich?? If it is am I just boned. Or can I take him out and not have the others infected if it’s only been 2 days

I have a Niger Trigger fish with a white spot. I’ve had him for 3 months now and he’s been in perfect health. The spot hasn’t multiplied or changed in size. It’s hard to tell in the photo but it looks fuzzy ish. No other fish has the spot and everyone has been eating. I don’t think it’s Ich, i’m...

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...

Hi Everyone, firstly I appreciate any help and/or advice you can provide. Pretty stressed out right now about the state of my tank and am unsure of where to go from here. A bit of background, my tank has been established for around 2 years now, most of which has gone smoothly. There was some...

I’ve had this blonde naso for a little over 3 months. He was 2-3 inches when we got him and is fat and happy. He has grown a little in that time, always eats a lot and mixed diet. I use nori, nori pellets, spirulina brine, mysis , and tdo- so he gets a very diverse diet. 3 days ago I noticed his...

Firstly, APOLOGIES as I know there are a million and one threads already about Ich treatment and management etc but I read so many I then get lost as to what to do so I thought I'd explain my situation and see if there is any specific advice to me... So new marine tank had Ich after about 2...

Hi all, I've had my power brown tang for three months or so. My fish store sold him with the warning that they are very prone to ich. After the first month he already developed a bad case of it. Luckily I had no corals to speak of. So after some advice from the great people on here, I put my DT...

I've got some clowns and a blue spotted jawfish that have come up with some disease. It's been noticeable for about 5 days now. Attached are some pictures of the clowns and I'll try and get a picture of the jawfish.

I woke up to my clownfish looking terrible this morning, with what appears to be Ich. It is much worse on my male than on my bigger female although neither looks happy. It is also prevalent on my banggai cardinal and firefish. As I haven’t had experience with marine Ich before, I’m not sure if...

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...

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 bought a coral beauty about 2 weeks. I didn’t have the space around my house to put a QT so I put it in my main tank. I went on vacation for about a week and I noticed that one of my clownfish (8 years old) had white spots all over him. I suspected it was either velvet/brooklynella...

Wow, I can't believe what I just did—looking for some reassurance. So, exactly 62 days ago, my DT caught ich. I completely dismantled the tank to pull the fish into QT with copper treatment. A few fish didn't make it, probably due to the copper and age, but the rest are healed and doing...

I have given my hippo tang a few freshwater baths in the last 2 wks. White flukes don’t come off - maybe some look white but then it’s all brown stuff. He pooped in the water ‍‍- so large chunks are poop. Thoughts? My next step is the quarantine - I’ve done PraziPro in the tank already. Copper...

my yellow tang only appears to have white spots in blue lighting but in white lighting they disappear? i don’t need to worry right? i can’t get a good photo of the spots they don’t appear on camera either. i am probably just extremely paranoid sorry for this

I’m somewhat new to having saltwater tanks again and my first time having a PBT. I’ve have this guy for about 6 months now. Everything was good till about a month ago. He started to have white cotton like things on his fins and I treated him for that and cleared up. Now for like the past week it...

Hello, I have a blue hippo tang. Just recently it’s been having spots on it. May I please get help identifying what it is? Ich or HALLE? Thank you!

Hi all, I’m hoping for some insight & advice into my next moves here. My scenario: On my newly setup 265G peninsula, I’ve been stocking fish slowly over a few months. Latest addition was a Purple Tang from TSM, and total stock, in order introduced: 2x Blotched Anthias CB multibar angel 2x...

I didn’t have a QT tank so I put her in a large Tupperware, I’ve had her since last October and she always thrived. I have a 75g tank and all of the parameters are normal, she’s always hiding in her little hole and she only comes out to eat, but today she was found laying on the sand barely...

This is my first tank ever. I have a 24G AIO that has been running for 8 months now. I never had a quarantine tank due to space issues until my fish got ich mid-April. I wasn't sure it was ich as the first fish that died had no spots or anything visible on them (Hector Goby). After a day, my...
