ick

A few weeks ago I decided to try my first saltwater tank. After getting everything set up and letting the tank cycle for a couple of weeks I decided to add a small clownfish with some turbo start. The next morning I noticed some white dots on its fins but they seemed to go away and his diet was...

Is this ick? New to reefing, I purchased a stocked used tank. I got two clown fish this weekend and one just died this AM suddenly (was eating yesterday). The other appears fine so far, should I start treating with copper? If it gets full course of copper is it truly safe to put it in my...

So I’ve been running my 25 gal for a bit now (probably 2 months) and about 1 week ago, I brought in a shrimp to the tank. I don’t know if this was just a coincidence but when he was added to the tank, the next day I noticed my royal dottyback had around 5 white spots on his fins. I was quite...

Hello fairly new at reefing and fish tanks currently having an ick out break. Was dosing my 2 cardinals for a few days and this morning they were dead and now today I caught my coral beauty and wanna treat her but I’m using super ick cure and it says to do a 25% water change and add filter back...

Display tank: 150G custom tank + 50G sump. started from August 2019. Some of the rock was from the old 15G nano started from July 2018. QT tank: 20G long, established after the velvet outbreak for holding fish purchased from the boxing day sale... However more like an observation tank. Some...

Hey guys, so I'm still fairly new to reefing and this is my first wrasse and I've never had a parasite issue before, so bare with me. Couple days ago got a Melanurus Wrasse from my LFS and never noticed anything on him when I got him and hadn't noticed any weird behavior at the store. He was...

May be, but not sure?? Need help to confirm it! An observation on my aquarium , I had a yellow tang with lymphocystis, and I notice the some white spots like ick on my blue tang, they were visiting the lysmata shrimps for a clean up very frequently. After dealing with an ick, velvet or what...

So i have 3 black axil chromis in a QT tank and they all appear to have these white spots on their heads, im thinking it is ick but i have zero experience with fish disease and treatment so would like to make sure thats what it is, im thinking it is either that or scarring from them nipping at...

¿Alguien ha usado este medicamento? ¿Cuál sería la dosis en tabletas de 400 mg? Translated by the moderation team: Has anyone used this medicine? What would be the dose in 400 mg tablets? Please note, the language of the forum is english. We understand that english is not everyones first...

So I haven’t noticed it until today but I’m not sure if it’s anything please help me out!! Is this ick Forming? Or maybe another fish has been biting his fin? When he first got in the tank my Nemo and him fought for a day or two and after that everything was fine..it’s been about a week or 2 and...

I have noticed that some fish seem to scratch themselves against the sand bed every once in a while and it seems territorial to me but was not sure if that was a "thing" so I thought I'd ask and see if anyone knew.

i just saw a white thing on one of my dwarf angelfish last night. This morning it is gone but there is a spot of discoloration where I saw the thing. These fish are already in QT so can I dose copper and Prazipro general cure melafix? Also, if it is flat worms will that effect my corals that are...

Is this ick? I can't tell if it's the design on the starry blenny or not.

What is it and how to treat it?

Newbie here...unfortunately, we caught ick in my Naso Tang late and the treatment did not help him survive. Does the ick harm my live rock and the beneficial bacteria in it? A related question is does ick medication itself harm beneficial bacteria within the live rock? Thanks for any help you...

I have two 140 gallon tanks with a tang in each one. The tanks share a common sump. The oldest tang is probably 6 years and the youngest maybe two. I've only had the youngest for about 6 months. The oldest fish has had ick like spots on it for at least a year but it doesn't show the typical...

All my fish and my blue hippo tang have been in quarantine for 55 days while my display is fallow. First 30 days in coppersafe at 2.0 on api test, last 25 days with no copper, was getting ready to dose prazipro but now she has a white spot close to her eye. I have restarted the copper just in...

@Humblefish @melypr1985 I could use some advice and your expertise. Despite being quite careful with a solid QT process on almost all of my fish, I ended up with ich in my dual reefer set up. I expected to just manage it with a huge UV and selecting fish that could withstand it. Unfortunately...

Hello everyone! I hope everyone had a great holiday and Merry Christmas! I'm going to start another post tonight with details and looking for advice on setting up an new 65 gallon tank I got for Christmas. However for this post I'm looking for advice on how to treat ick on a flame angel I...

My McCosker just had they white dots/bumps show up on him. I think this is Ick but wanted a second opinion. If it is, what should we do. We do not have a quarantine tank. I couldn't get a good shot of it, but they are especially bad on tail fin.
