ich

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...

Hi guy's. I Was treating tank for white spot/ich with polyp lab medic. At day 20 almost last day I've noticed this on my Queen Angel. Also Naso tang and emperor have cloudy eyes (parameters were fine). Done a 60% water change and dosed with flukesolve. My naso tang has came out with a few black...

I'm about to set up a 10G QT tank since I'm dealing with ich in my display tank. Since the QT will be near my display, I wanted to set up something that looks nice. So far the only fish I'll be treating is a filefish. I'm also going to be using copper. That being said, can I add a piece of...

I know this is probably one of the most common questions, but I have been digging the interent for hours, eyes are strained and I can't figure it out. My clownfish has a few white spots and patches on one side of her body. None on fins. She's been breathing fast since yesterday and sitting...

Hi there, my Cryptic Wrasse affectionately named Steve Buscemi has some white spots on him today. One prominent one on the top of the dorsal fin, and another on the left side that is also amongst some paleness that I can’t tell if is part of the same thing or aggression from the clownfish, kind...

Noticed these white spots on my black ocellaris this morning. My first thoughts were ich or marine velvet. He's eating fine, isn't lethargic, isn't struggling to breathe. All water parameters are within good ranges. There's another black ocellaris I got with him that doesn't have any white...

I noticed around a week ago that my Scopas Tang had these small whites dots on his body. I have no clue what they are, I ruled out Velvet and Ich due to the fact that the dots haven’t spread to other parts of his body. I think it might be some sort of bacterial infection possibly. But i’m still...

My Scopas Tang has had these white spots on his side for around a week. He is eating and acting fine it’s just freaking me out. I can’t really come to a conclusion on what these can be. I had factored out velvet and ich simply due to the fact that the spots haven’t spread throughout his whole...

2 clownish look this way overnight. They are swimming at the surface. My dog face puffer is scratching on sand and rocks allot. Any thoughts of what this is and what I should do?

Can someone help me determine if this is ich vs brook? Long story short, I found what I thought was a good deal on a kole tang and added it to my reef. All seemed well at first but now I've noticed a few spots on its fins which spread to all over its body. It seems to have infected my orchid...

I recently added my first inhabitants to my display tank, 2 Red Sea clownfish and a turbo snail. They are all seemingly healthy, except that the larger female clownfish has a suspected ich white spot on her skin directly next to her eye. Since I have not added any corals to the tank yet, should...
