sick fish

Well my blue hippo tang keeps rubbing himself on rocks. This is my first tang. I got him from my Lfs 4 days ago. The guy there said that these tangs usually act weird. So is this normal weird blue tang behavior or something else like ich or velvet. He looks fine and eats like a pig on anything...

Hello, am I new to this incredible hobby and have had mu share of mistakes and things that need to improve, I recently had ich in my tank and I put a cleaner wrasse that was working with all the my fish 24/7 never stop eating the white spots. Now I see him tired and kind of sick. So my question...

So last night I did a big water change and brought up the salinity almost 3 ppm. I know it was probably stressful but i needed to do it. I have a 150 call on tank and 30 gallon sump I removed and replaced about 66 gallons last night. Woke up and added some seaweed and fed the goby. The foxface...

So I got my first 2 fish today a purple fire fish goby(was supposed to be just a fire fish goby but the company sent me the wrong one…) and a foxface rabbit fish. So I noticed my wave maker was just way too much for these little guys! So I turned it all the way down. The the foxface kept trying...

Hey guys, So three days ago I noticed some spots on my sailfin tang skin. This fish has been with me for almost 5 months now and eats really well. The only symptom i've seen is scratching agains the rocks . Any ideas as to what it is? Parameters are: Amonia - 0 Nitrites - 0,25 Nitrates - 5 Kh...

Hey everyone! I got my hippo tang in Qt. It has these patches on him now. He didn’t have the one on his head till today, he’s been in copper, nitro, freshwater baths and methylene blue baths. Currently sitting in just saltwater for past 3 days. Is it HLLE? I will try get better pics later. The...

I ordered a large order from Live Aquaria, partially composing of fish from Diver's Den. I bought what was called Freckled Angler from Diver's Den. I thought, wow this fish is pretty cool - and its nice that its from Diver's Den because the fish is supposed to be healthier than from other...

Hello .. one of my clowns seems to have qn issue with her mouth and tale .. not white spots in the aquarium.. thay was developed last few days i beleive.. but its been there for 1 month no issues till today Lall wayer parameters are good

Hi I was hoping someone would be able to tell me if these spots are black ich? I noticed a few black spots when I got him in December but all of a sudden they are all over. I just had a fluke outbreak in my tank and they are doing fine after 2 rounds of prazi pro but is there an ich outbreak...

So my white bristle tooth tang had white spots on its body that looked rather large to look like ich. I figured it might be due to abrasions since he loves to swim into all the crevices or maybe a sting from my rbta as he seems daring. He does visit my skunk shrimp quiet often for cleaning and...

I don’t think this is an emergency, but one of my clownfish has a white spot on his side..looks like an injury? Skin peel? Not sure, there’s a good photo attached. What is it? There are no other spots on him or my other clown.. He’s not acting weird, and eating fine.

My engineer goby just popped out to eat and his eyes are blue. I’ve never noticed this before I’m pretty sure they were black. What does this mean? Is he hurt or sick?

Hi everyone & Merry Christmas! My yellow tang recently became extremely ill and I almost lost him. He got into a fight with another tang, got a few scratches on his side and it progressed into a nasty looking red rash. I began treatment with antibiotics because all the information I could find...

Hello, So This is a little big of a long story. I have a quarantine tank up because I have velvet in my display tank. It has been a little over 6 weeks. I have extended by 2 weeks since i have made the mistake of putting my hand from qt to the other to my dt. My hand may have been dry but I was...

Hi, so my fish is sick, he is a clownfish. He is breathing heavily and has recently stopped eating. His color is looking much better than in the past. I have been treating with copper for a little over two weeks but he hasn’t fought it off yet since my ammonia got a little too high. It is under...

Hey fellow reefers, I have had my tank setup for just about 2 years as fowlr, i have had many issues im dealing with already such as cyano or dynos, aiptasia, slow coraline growth, loosing 90% of fish from ich, dyno toxins, or overall bad water quality. I have since done several large water...

Hi all first post on R2R. I recently got a blue potted jawfish. Was QT prior to me purchasing it. Copper treatment. It’s in my DT. Brought it home over a week ago. It has ate somewhat. I have seen my salfin nip at its tail fin which then prompt me to put it in a container away from the...

Hi! I’ve recently discovered that my fish looked quite dusty while the other fish is full of color. I have no idea why but that’s why I’m here for some answers. I also found that my other fish seems to always be with him and sometimes even nibbles at him. Any idea of what can be going on?

Last week I noticed my Coral Beauty's left eye was cloudy, milky, and swollen. I moved her to a QT tank and started dosing FURAN2. I did 4 days of FURAN-2 and did 25% WCs every 2 days. I waited a day then dosed Kanaplex to the tank, first dose almost 48 hours ago. I came home to find her...

Hey guys, I’ve had my Blue Tang for about two weeks now and it’s been relatively okay. Not really eating but I thought it was nibbling in any algae in the tank. Today we noticed that the Tang has been hiding under a rock all night and day. It has barely moved. So I tried to move it to an...

Last night I noticed that my Coral Beauty Angel Fish has one eye that is swollen and looks as if it is going to pop out. It is cloudy and looks like a cloudy white slime is over it. I did a 5 gal WC last night. It seems that it wouldn't be Popeye because it is only one eye. I just got home...

I really can’t tell if this is ich or not does anyone know?! It looks like the spots on my dartfish are a little too big to be ich, I couldn’t get a good picture but he has another pot on his other side that’s twice as big. if anyone knows what this is plz let me know ASAP! (All other fish in...

My new purple tang seemed to be looking healthy for the first few days and is now starting to worry me. White spots/dots are all over his body and fins. Is this ich or marine velvet? Or somthing else? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks

Hello! I’m pretty new here but maybe some of you could help me out. I’ve had my tank for a couple weeks running and I introduced two juvenile clown fish about a little over a week ago. One of them got a little bigger than the other and is doing extremely well is very healthy. However, the other...
