sick

So I recently put this PBT through a copper treatment in anticipation of bringing him back to my LFS. I got an Achilles and out of courtesy I didn't want to transmit any unknowns that might be hitching a ride on him. He was looking good and healthy after the treatment, so I brought him in. My...

Hey everyone, need a second opinion. I found a white fleshy looking hole below the belly on the underside of my orchid dottyback. He’s been living in harmony with a clownfish pair and never had an issue but I saw him hiding this morning the noticed what seems to be an open hole/ fleshy wound. It...

Was giving my blue hippo a fresh water bath when I noticed his stomach seemed bulging a little bit, does this look normal? Or can this be a parasite . I attached pics Thanks!

Hello everyone I posted a thread regarding this angel before as he has flukes but he was in QT and healed for 4-5 weeks and I made him fat before transfer into QT tank. I am assuming he doesn’t have flukes as I did two rounds and his fins healed up etc and he isn’t breathing hard or rubbing and...

Hey guys, I have another thread with a sub par video but I want to post this again to get some better pics up. On both sides of my blue hippo tang he has what looks to be white and black spots but some odd shape and some in the middle almost look like silver skin underneath the blue. Idk if...

Whatsup guys, Not sure if this is the beginnings of ich or mane hes just being nipped at? Or maybe a malnutrition issue I know they’re susceptible to ich so thats why im concerned.

I noticed he was very lethargic yesterday and when I fed them he didn’t seem too interested, he’s stayed the same today. He also looked just not quite right maybe a bit paler and I’ve noticed today he has some kind of white spot on his tail, there is no other spots on his body just 1 singular...

My 10 yr old duss tang suddenly started floating weirdly and now has himself wedged under some rock/coral. Noticed it last night, still same this morning. He’s moved a little bit, and moved to a different location, but went from right side up to basically upside down/on his side. I’ve tried...

Hey all, This is our first post and hopefully we are posting in the right place. We just got some corals for black friday. We are new to the hobby this year and have not yet had an issue with any corals yet. However, the octospawn we just bought never fully expanded and now it looks like one...

Have my Yellow watchman goby for 3 months in my new tank. He has a pistol shrimp which he never mated with. Used to always see him but this week barely saw him. He came out today and looked terrible. I moved rocks yesterday so maybe I smushed him I really don’t know and feel like ****. Here’s...

Is there any reef safe Ich medicine or remedy? I already have copper for a qt tank but I don’t know if I’ll be able to get my sick gramma or clown goby out my tank. Of course I’ll keep trying and even move my rock scape if I have too. Both of them are well fed and healthy before getting sick so...

Today I just noticed weird behavior with my royal gramma and noticed its color looks whiter than usual. It’s breathing is normal and still actively eats. I spent an hour trying to get a good picture but couldn’t. I’ll still keep trying though. Since I noticed my gramma was off I checked every...

Please help, I don’t know what’s going on, I’m new to this I have medicine coming in over night but I don’t want my buddy to suffer

Looking for advice. I have a 10 yr old Redtoothed Trigger that has been in my 90 gallon tank for around 3 years. After we got back from a week long vacation, his eye looked like it had a bubble, which I'm thinking might be popeye. At the time, he had no other symptoms and was acting...

hey all, i’ve been reading for hours on here and believe i’ll get the same answers but i figured it’s worth a shot. all parameters are within normal range. i have the possum wrasse, a tail spot blenny, and now a bicolor dottyback in my 10 gal. the dottyback was added just yesterday. i am...

Hello y’all. Got a sick fish and could use help. Biota yellow tang, had for 4 weeks. Appeared healthy until today. Yesterday noticed he was visiting the neon gobys for cleaning and thought cool, but today has patches of redness on sides and fins, abdominal bloating and at some points today...

I got a yellow corris wrasse, 2.5 ish weeks ago. Went on vacation. And came back to it like this. Going to do a water change. But what else can I do ? It’s laying on the floor. Mouth is moving and it’s “breathing” but not well. Ph 7.8-8.0 Ammonia .25 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 0 LFS just had us start...

Hi, I added a new porcupine puffer to my tank a few days ago. He hasn’t eaten (which I know happens sometimes especially when just added) however today he started laying on the floor and I noticed whiteish spots on his fins. I’m not 100% sure why it’s happening or what the cause is. Does anyone...

I’m a little concerned about my Melanurus Wrasse and not sure if this behavior is normal. Tank: 55 gal w/20 gal sump about 5 months old Water: - Nitrites/Ammonia: 0 - Nitrates: 5-10 -Ph: 8-8.15 -Alk: 9-10 I bought my Melanurus Wrasse about 3 months ago. Of that time, I’ve barely seen her; she...

Yellow tang has a small lump on his head for around 2 months. Noticed it after 80 days in QT with his tank mates. (Ich breakout, all is well now, copper power was the only medicine dosed) All have been back in main tank for over a month. He eats plenty, no weird tendencies Adding a video to...

see video, based on swimming pattern could this be UNWD? Sorry for the blue light, all fish hide under white light. Was totally fine yesterday, today I get home from work and saw this. Looks stiff as a board and very vertical swim pattern. Breathing slightly elevated. Occasional mouth wide...

In the mind set of learning from all this I have a few things here. Small back story, my tank has been up and cycled since end of December. Got my first salty fish. Two clowns. They have been doing great since I got them in the end of December Then things went down hill . I added a royal...

I think my one clown fish might have Brooke. I’m not quite sure how she would’ve got it as nothing has been added to the tank for a couple months. However, she looks extremely pale and is lethargic. She’s still coming up to eat, but you can tell it wears her out and she’s gotta go lay down and...

Good afternoon! My saltwater tank has been up since.. November(?) of last year. I waited a long time to ensure it cycled, used live sand, dry rock, lots of filter media, etc. This isn't my first tank so I have experience, though I am not an expert by any means. I've had a moon jelly tank, and...

I have a clownfish that has been hovering slightly above the sand and now laying on the sand for about 3 days. I’ve checked for visual evidence of sickness and can’t find any. The breathing seems fine and it was never bullied. However, the symptoms still show signs of sickness. She eats but...
