Are these white spots Ich or flukes on my Semilarvatus? I just noticed the spots today. I know reading Jay’s posts Neobenedenia flukes are the only flukes you can see with the naked eye. This is a fish only tank with no inverts so I can treat the tank. It has been flashing sporadically, is very...

Worried about my Two Spot Bristletooth. Just noticed a big white spot on the front of his dorsal, as well as a smaller spec on one of his side, just this two single spots so far. Currently been battling some SCA dino and dosing silicate, dosed lanthanum this week a bit (1ml for 60g mixed in...

About a week ago I bought a Mandarin Dragonet from my LFS and currently have it in a small 5.5 gallon QT tank that had been used to QT inverts. I’ve loaded the tank with pods and I’m trying (unsuccessfully so far) to get it to eat something else too. How do I do copper power then prazi without...

First I wanted to thank everybody that take of their time to post and answer on this amazing forum, making the hobby much easier to navigate thru. So I got this Heraldi Angel 3 weeks ago and he is currently in its 2 second week of copper treatment. At some point in the beggining of the first...

My Tomini Tang, to the best of my knowledge was fine yesterday. It was eating and swimming normally. I was gone for most of the weekend so I may have missed some signs of trouble. This morning the Tang looked terrible. It would not eat and was gasping for breath and swimming into a wavemaker...

What’s the latest guideline on prazipro instructions in btw each round? I’ve seen anywhere btw 7-10 days in btw each round, and I’m wondering if there is any consensus on the days. Cuz if timing is not right, flukes can survive…in that case, after three rounds of prazipro, what are options to...

Hey there My silver belly wrasse chased something onto to the rock work in front of my eye and seems to have gotten wounded around the gill. I introduced him to my tank about a month ago, and he was finally getting into the rhythm….getting out of the sand at day break and promptly burying...

I have been battling with deaths in my 125 FOWLR for some time now, trying different meds and continuously losing fish. I have been running hypo in the hopes of ridding me of a few critters while I was trying to stock the tank with the intention of bringing the salinity back up once I got that...

Hi , I have a new tank , started with prodibio. We have the numbers moving , ammonia has been stagnant at 0.25 and nitrites at 0. Though the fluctuation is in nitrates, which have been moving from 5 ppm to 10 ppm . I had recently added a wave maker, and it seems to have been added incorrectly...

What is this growth on my gold nugget clownfish?

Hello everyone I have a Achilles tang with what looks to be velvet it started off as Ich in the tank every fish had it about a month now , right now every fish managed to be cured of it (showing no signs of dots) or anything all eating well. Except for the famous ACHILLES:-/ which seems to go...

My 3XL900 with my angel fish turned cloudy. I determined it was small bubbles, looked in the sump and saw my skimmer overflowing (like when newly set up). All the fish seem to be breathing way fast, ORP dropped from 293-237 from 10PM-11PM. Only thing I did different tonight was the krill I fed...

I received this Queen and a French Aug 30. Both came much larger than expected. I placed them in a 40 breeder that was fully cycled, I had just taken the last occupants out in prep for these guys. Within 24 hours my ammonia badge went green, so I moved them into my 110g observation station...

Had company over and we were looking at the fish and my thin lined puffer has what looks like wounds on his side. He is lying on the sand fairly inactive, but I have seen this behavior before. The spots look like there is little white filament like tuffs coming out. There is a possibility that...

My bristletooth tang started laying on the sand bed then getting up a swimming and lay back down. He started doing this a hour ago its 10:40pm rn. Should I panic and what's wrong?
