He guys, when it comes to quarantining tangs…I know they’re likely to get ich.. is it good to quarantine them off the bat with copper? Or any other meds? Or wait until you see something. This is a powder blue tang specifically I’m talking about …20 gal long glass bottom quarantine tank. Thanks!

Hello everyone, some what new to this so forgive me. I currently have a male and female pair of Spotted Dragonets, I’ve had them for over a year now. They eat lots of copepods and peck all day, as well as have been trained to accept frozen foods. Recently, I noticed BOTH male and female fish...

Hello! After being away from the hobby for a few years I figured I wanted to get back to it with a fresh start, quarantine everything and no bad hitchhikers on the rocks. Since I live in Sweden my options for medicine is not as big as in the US. Copper safe and the likes are almost impossible...

Hey guys, my lawnmower blenny started showing signs of what I’m assuming is a bacterial infection a few days ago. His right side started with what seemed like a little “blister”, and after a day or two it got a bit worse it seems and ate away at his right fin. He’s in a 20 long, live rock and...

We’ve had the powder brown for 3 weeks. Acclimation went well, but on week 2 started showing signs of a small head bump surface injury. After treatment of Kanaplex, it has progressed into fin and tail rot. I’m not seeing it as aggression. Tank mates are derasa clam, firefish, tiny clownfish, 2x...

Hi All, since 3 or 4 days one of my clownfish won’t eat and only swims/lays on the bottom. I noticed that he lost some weight and he won’t eat. The other clown does eat but doesn’t “look” all that healthy. I manage to capture them and put them in my quarantaine system. I figured it’s most...

Hey guys, does anyone know where to buy ciprofloxacin in the uk? Looking for 250mg tablets or 500mg if poss. I can’t seem to find it anywhere? Nowhere online, all seems to be in america with ridiculous shipping prices. Many thanks

Hi guys I’m in an emergency please help. I need to know which medicine to give my sick Tetra if they can’t swim well and continually gasp for air (not on the surface) don’t tell me that clean water is the best medicine because I’ve changed the water 3 times this week and they’re not getting...

Alright, so I have parasite outbreaks like ich. I am wondering what is the best way to setup a medicine/quarantine tank. I got a Fluval over the back filter and took the carbon out and instead put in zeolite for the ammonia. I also have a heater and airstone. Does the tank itself need to cycle...
