What should I try next? Leaning toward E. M. Erythromycin. I have a Royal Gramma that has been lethargic for about 2 months now. I've had it for over a year. It was quarantined with prazipro and and then copper before it went into the main display. Before I put it in the qt, I thought it was...

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 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?

I received 5 chromis from a reputable dealer that does pre-quarantine and pre-conditioning. These guys came to me having had a 1 hr formalin bath and Prazipro and Metronidazole at 2x recommended dose. They were shipped to me in methylene blue. I put them in my own QT with copper power (40...

I was quarantining this Harlequin Tuskfish in a set up with three connected 29 gallon tanks run to one sump. I was changing out water in it and sucking detritus off the bottom with a 1/2” hose when I startled the Tuskfish. This was about 5 days ago. He rocketed around the tank and hit at least...

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...
