sick

Hello, My name is Jeff. I am new to this forum. I currently have a 250 gallon, 75 gallon, 55 gallon, 35 gallon, and 10 gallon aquarium, all saltwater. This post is about my new 1 week old baby bamboo shark. For some background I want to put out there that I have a lot of experience with sharks...

So I had a 4 or 5 finger staulk 8 inch to 9 " long happy sinularia? Green. For a year. About 3 weeks ago, it started retracting. I had moved it away from an anemonee that was bothering it. I figured it would be fine. But now i notice a "tear"? In base and black stuff? And it has been...

Hi, 4 days ago one of my cleaner shrimp suddenly died. I noticed that he lost appetite but didn’t think much of it. 1 day later I found him death between two rocks. Didn’t really see a cause of death on the little corpse. Then 2 days ago the other shrimp started to act the same. He seems really...

So I have a clown pair. The females eyes look kinda cloudy on the top and maybe a little puffy? But her appetite is very good. Comes to the glass when I come by, seems to to react well, and overall seems healthy. But I wanted other peoples opinions. She's been in my tank for around 4 months. And...

Have had a pair of seahorse now for about a month and half, both were doing well until recently the male started thrashing and scratching pretty bad, figured parasites so, did a freshwater dip with him for 8 mins about how long till he starts to bounce back if he will and when should I do a...

Hello guys, I notice my blue tang has some strange spots on the left site, the right side is ok. And his belly looks wrinkly on that side. What do you think it is? He is acting normal, eating a lot, maybe, it’s hiding a little more from normal.

These showed up today and I’m not sure what it is. He is still eating like a pig and seems fine. It lives with a yellow eye kole tang which could have gotten him or it could be some kind of disease or infection I’m not sure.

i added some green chromis stupidly to my tank without quarantine and my coral beauty angel randomly died i didnt take a picture of the body but she had a very apparent wound running from the top of her head down to her front bottom fins, it was a perfectly straight wound. ive been reading it...

I had a fish that had trouble swimming. When she passed it seem like my other fish got what she had. both of their symptoms are trouble keeping afloat and breathing fast. She is not eating much. I think it's a parasite that passed on when the other fish died. I don't know what i should do. Any...

Hey guys so i have just lost both of my clowns today. I have had them for about 2,5 months and they have been thriving eating and not showing any signs of sickness at any point until today. So this morning when i got up my smallest clown was laying on the sand breathing heavy, i fed the tank to...

Hi! We recently got a guppy and his left fin is looking weird. It doesn’t look like ick but not sure if it’s a fungus/Illness or deformity. Tank is freshwater 20 gal, 79 degrees F, tap water(conditioned), ammonia levels 0, nitrate/nitrate 0 ppm. He can’t seem to move his left side fin and his...

Hey this is the first time I’ve had a fish get sick and was wondering if this is ich or velvet? Really worried about the fish. He started scratching a lot last night. This morning I found some small dots on him. He’s eating but very minimally. In the video I kind of spooked him so he’s breathing...

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...

Hi, today I noticed some white spots on my clove polyp. It kinda looks like zoa pox. Does anyone have experience with this? thanks

Just got back from LFS and got it in the tank and noticed this. If it is a disease or ich please let me know how to treat it/what product to use. Thanks!

What is sticking out of my clownfish it’s a white string. It looks like poop but idk, both have it. They both eat and swim normally, no odd behavior. Is this something to worry about?

Hi so I’ve had this little golden headed moray for a few months now, and he’s eating the live foods fine (pre-quarantined Chromis, saltwater glass minnows, and other small schooling fish I’ve harvested from the ocean legally) but today I noticed bumps on his head near his eyes, is this normal or...

I have some fish in a 40 gal quarantine. I noticed that the flame angel’s rear fin was starting to look a bit frayed and had some discoloration. Then I noticed it had a white spot on it’s body behind it’s left fin, and that fin also had some discoloration. It’s a bigger spot then when I had...

Hi everyone, you can skip to the third paragraph for the short version of this. I bought two clownfish and a randall's goby two weeks ago and added them to my aquarium (20 gallon long), these are my first fish. About a week ago one of my clownfish stopped eating, the next day it was having...

My porcupine pufferfish has a cloudy patch on her right fin and seems to have a bit of a torn tail. I just noticed today after watching her eat. She was breathing a little heavy after feeding but she seems to do that sometimes. I have also only ever seen her puff up on a few occasions but saw...

Looking at the tank today I noticed one of my Bangai has a white “growth” on his right side in the middle of his body. he is eating, but not moving around the tank like normal. sorry for the picture quality he is just hiding so it was hard to get a good one. thank you for you help.
