sick

My clown fish has been acting weird. Constantly laying on their side, but will swim when I walk up to the tank. Their color looks great, I don’t see any signs of an illness. I’ve had this clown for 7-8 years now. However. There does appear to be a slight purplish mark on their one side, but...

Hey! Tried to find a post on this but couldn’t find anything — more LPS questions from me. These wellso/Trachy are right next to several that are super happy. Per earlier post about meat corals I have not been feeding these corals adequately, so I am starting to do that now. What would you...

Hey guys! I’ve had this starfish for a couple months and at first she (or he) was under was under the sand a lot and come out every now and then. Recently she stays on top of the sand and I noticed this white spot on top. It’s not sand because it doesn’t come off. Also not sure what’s...

Hello, I have a clown that has been thriving in my tank for a week now. All the sudden it is breathing heavy, swimming on the sand bed, and not eating. The water parameters are 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 20ppm nitrate, salt at 1.026, tempature of 78, with a PH of 8.0. The only thing difference...

Sometime last week, one of our 2 seahorses refused to latch and had some fairly poor behaviors where she started refused to eat. The situation reached a peak where we were dipping her in methylene blue for 30-45 minutes at a time with a bubbler + tube feeding him seachem mixed paste from mysis...

Does anyone know what this is up under his belly and how to cure it? He won't eat, either.

Looking for some advice on what could be wrong with my Longfin Clownfish. We are on morning of day 3 of him fast breathing and no real appetite but still moving around. I don’t see anything physically wrong with him. Time in tank - 2.5 weeks Recent changes: 6 Chromis and 1 Royal Gramma added at...

Does my firefish look like it’s sick or is this normal behavior? He usually hides in the live rock but he’s been coming out more often but will lie down on the sand and I really can’t tell if this is normal or not.

Hello everyone my fish have all been in QT with copper power 2.35-2.50 ppm and nitrofurazone for the last 31 days. Since I had an ich on my purple tang so took everyone out. Currently in the process of setting up a new 125 gallon for everyone. I’m pretty sure copper never dropped below...

This little guy has had some lighter patches of funk on his skin for a few days which you can still see, but today I am noticing this much more pronounced white spot. I'm guessing this is Ich based on what I have seen online but I am fairly new so I'm not sure. Any diagnostic input from more...

Can anyone help? I recently set up and bought fish for my saltwater fish tank. I originally received all the equipment from a friend and set it up about 2 weeks ago. I waited about 1 week and then bought the fish. I used Natures ocean Nutir Seawater. I bought caribsea live sand and a bag of...

Help! Yesterday my black storm clownfish started acting sick. Water is in correct parameters, 77 degrees It’s Breathing very heavily and will swim eratically and then just sink and go on its side barely moving if at all. No noticable spots or damage. Not getting bullied. Have tried a fresh...

Hello I had an ich outbreak a few months back tank when fallow for 72 days all fish were treated with copper. Now all the fish are back in the DT got 3 new fish one of which was my purple tang he was treated with copper along with the 3 other BUT seems like my purple tang has spots. He’s eating...

My clownfish has been sitting at the bottom of the tank like this for a couple days now. In the morning he swims up and eats but during the rest of the day he just stays low. I’ve had him for a year now and haven’t introduced any new fish ever since. Parameters are steady, ammonia, nitrite...

My female clownfish is slowly starving, and I don't know what to do. She has always had a wonky looking mouth and jaw, that has never opened and closed like our male clownfish, who has a normal looking mouth. She never used to have issues with eating, however I have noticed recently that her...

Today I noticed something strange on my Foxface Rabbitfish. His behavior is normal and he’s acting fine. There are small-medium spots scattered on his side and they look brownish/beige. They are like nothing I’ve seen before as it doesn’t look like ick or anything else I can think of. It’s only...

I am very new to this, and I've been trying to take it slow and do everything right, but still managing to fail. This is a red sea nano tank, established March 19, 2023. Sorry it's long but I feel it may need a little background. The very first fish Royal Gramma I added to this tank had flukes...

Need help with this. Spot on fox face. He's acting fine I've had ich before and lost a fox face to ich before I took all fish out and treated them for everything under the sun my tank went 85 days without fish so ik not 100 % but I'm pretty sure it's not ich in my system. One thing i was...

My 55 gallon salt water DT has Ich!?! I have lost 3 fish in one week. I am convinced that the only thing that will cure Ich is to treat ALL my fish with copper in a QT. I cannot treat the DT as I have lots of invertebrates that will die from the the copper. I believe I have to starve the...

I added this guy to my tank about 3 days ago. He was out swimming and eating fine but for the past day he has been hiding and heavy breathing. He has not eaten at all or moved. The other fish in the tank seem to be doing fine and are eating well they where all added at the same time to a cycled...

I got a dwarf fuzzy lionfish a couple of days back and for the entirety of the day he's been hanging out in the corner up against the heater just kind of chilling upside down. I know the swimming upside down thing isn't completely abnormal but he hasn't been going around the tank at all like he...

What should I do? These marks just appeared, I tried to take a photo for reference.
