ich

Hello all! So I got a new Scopas and he came down with ich. I reached full dose of copper power in my tank on NOV 6. I added a diamond goby to the tank being treated on NOV 17, because the person I bought him from had him in a tank that had ich a while back, he had no signs though but put him in...

Can leaving fish in hypo salinity (1.009) for more than 30 days be harmful to the fish? I have had baby burrfish in hypo salinity for 30 days. One of them died before I reached hypo salinity from either ich or velvet. I currently have them in their own tank because they are too small still to...

The reason I placed this as an emergency is because I really need answers as soon as possible… my girlfriend ordered me a green king tenticle anemone. Very nice gesture, but the overthinking nut job I am can’t pass the thought that maybe it’s carrying a disease. It is from fragbox, and I really...

Hello! I have a baby blue hippo tang (about 2 inches in length) that I got about a week ago, let me start by saying that she seems to be doing really well, swimming around all day (until someone walks by the tank, she’ll hide but then come right back out after you leave) eating great, in fact...

So I recently recently a cleaner wrasse as a gift from a family member, it came from the ocean (I was told) so it likely wouldn’t do well in qt. I’ve successfully qt a six line wrasse so I hope the same happens with this cleaner. However I already have 2 clowns and a royal gramma in qt...

hey guys so I’ve been fighting a parasite which I thought was ich for the last week or two. I was treating with polyp medic lab, running a uv sterilizer, feeding nutrient rich foods and I thought everything seemed to be going ok. At first nothing got crazy better, but it didn’t get worse. So I...

My 55 gallon salt water DT has Ich!?! I have lost 3 fish in one week. I am convinced that the only thing that will cure Ich is to treat ALL my fish with copper in a QT. I cannot treat the DT as I have lots of invertebrates that will die from the the copper. I believe I have to starve the...

Hi everyone, I started my first ever saltwater tank a couple of months back, cycled it and added a small purple dottyback which is doing great. About 3 weeks ago I added a small wild caught clownfish and 1 week ago a small darwin clownfish. All my fish seem very healthy and are eating very well...

Please help today I’ve noticed white patches on my black clownfish and I can’t seem to find what it is. I’ve seen a lot of ich pictures and they seem really small but these patches seem bigger. This clownfish always got bullied by the big orange clown and couple smaller orange clowns. Please let...

I had a couple of lost last one i lost was like a week ago, but no more lost …lost in total like 5 fishes in a period of like a 1 month but still alot of fish with white spots not sure...

Tank almost wiped out and not sure if it was Velvet or Ich TLDR at bottom Some context - 2x Clown Fish, Cleaner Shrimp, Yellow Tang, Blue Tang, Royal Gamma, Cherub Angelfish, last one I don't remember look a Blenny or a Jawfish. I recently added the Yellow Tang and a snail that didn't move...

I recently had an ich outbreak in my tank, so far the six line wrasse and one of the clowns look the most I impacted. The spots have come out most on my six line and starting on my tang. I’m planning on setting up a 20g and putting dividers in the tank. I would have to do an in tank cycle so can...

i’m really stressed out and need some ich advice my new coral beauty showed signs of ich, now 5/10 of my fish have a few spots just on their tails. i started a 10 gallon quarantine with copper power right before i noticed how many fish had it. (they are all about an inch but i have a coral...

I recently got a juvenile blue tang and it looked great for the first week. I just noticed today some white spots on his tail and side of body. I’ve never dealt with fish disease before and try to buy from stores that quarantine. I know this blue tang was quarantined before I bought it...

A while ago I made the poor decision to purchase a baby ocellaris clown to pair up with my already established mocca clownfish. I Placed him in the DT (which I’m now starting to regret due to the better safety precautions of owning a quarantine system) and he seemed fine for the first couple...

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...
