Is this velvet

I just got a small six line wrasse. Acclimated him to .25ppm copper (ramping up in 4 days to 2ppm). then put him into a 10 gallon QT by himself (with .25ppm copper). He has been almost like standing up, not really swimming and keeps hiding behind the filter and is staying at the top of the water...

I’ve had this pair 4-5 months no issues and eating well. Take a look at the stomach on the bigger one, it has been getting larger over past couple weeks. Just eating well or something going on?? Thanks

I started QT with Copper Power at 2.25 (Hannah checker) on 11/13/23 for a Sunburst Anthias and Gold Ring Bristletooth Tang (Indian). Anthias was doing great eating no problems. Started hiding mote than normal yesterday and slowed eating. This morning it was on its side barely alive and I had to...

I plan on picking up a Gold ring Yellow Bristle tooth tang, Blue Star leopard Wrasse, Fat Head Sunburst Anthias and possibly a radiant wrasse tomorrow. Can I follow the recommended QT (copper and Prazi ) protocols? for these guys?

Can anyone help me identify what’s this is on my Achilles? It’s been there a few days and doesn’t seem to be effecting his behavior but looks weird. Thanks

Hi everyone! I am new to the forum and also new in the reefing hobby. I have a wonderful 32 gallon nano reef tank that’s been up and running for a little less than a year. All of my fish and corals are happy and thriving! I have a beautiful mandarin goby who eats frozen food and pellets, but...

One week ago, I added a gem tang, a mandarin and a blenny. Everything was just fine before then. Sunday, the gem tang got stuck to the side of my powerhead and died Monday. Also died Monday, the mandarin. Tuesday, I lost my blue eyed kole tang. so right then I started treating for ich with...

HELP!! Is this ich, velvet or brookylnella?! We don't know what it is or how to treat it or how we're even going to get our fish out of our tank due to all the coral frags everywhere and thriving. Help! Our two 3 year old clowns have it and our wrasse for sure. We just lost our dragonet...
