uronema

Hello, i really need help. Please guide me. I set up a 90-gallon aquarium 2 months ago. While setting up the new aquarium, I transferred rocks from my old tank, which I had carefully maintained for about 2 years without losing any fish. I added my bacteria to the new tank, and diatoms formed in...

My Royal flasher Wrasse died tonight in the QT, not sure what might have caused it. I have a melanurus wrasse and a Biota yellow tang in the QT currently. Not sure how to proceed. There's no mark on its body (looking for signs of ich, velvet or uronima). But when I move the body it's looks like...

Hey everyone my white tail just came out of QT and went into the DT a few days ago and today i noticed things on 1 of his sides the 2 other fish don’t seem to have anything. It was QTd with copper power for 30 days. I dosed the tank with nitrofurizone and metro after every 100% water change...

With the exception of flukes, viruses, and Uronema, it is my understanding that almost all common marine fish diseases can be removed from a system by leaving it fallow for 6 weeks. Obviously, having healthy fish is most important. Nevertheless, I am interested in the preventative step to...

After a discussion with Jay, I am experimenting 10mg of chloroquine phosphate orally and see if any fish showing symptoms (the dreaded red sore) recovers from that. Only issue is certain fish like anthias are known to be sensitive to chloroquine but also susceptible to uronema. Is 10mg orally...

Got my third copperband recently and it finally was a healthy specimen that eats everything I give -mysis, reef frenzy, flakes, everything. Currently my display tank is undergoing fallow period so all my fish are on a 55g QT tank. While everything has been good for 4 weeks of Copper treatment...

I’ve had a trio of Chromis for 3 months now, all eat well, swim together, but sometimes chase and nip at one another. In addition they have a habit of backing into holes where my royal gramma hangs out, where they will swiftly be chased away. A red dot with a white center has appeared on one...

Hi I got this fish from a friend and have been quarantining it with other fish from the system and 2 fish from another system. I usually never cross qt fish but they had been separately visually qt for several weeks prior with no symptoms of anything. I did however have 2 small damsels and a...

I can’t catch a break yall. The inhabitants of my 150 gal reef tank have all been in QT with copper power for velvet since July 4. Lost an bellus angel, engineer goby, annd two anthias before I figured out what it was and pulled the tank apart. Everyone is doing well now and I haven’t had any...

Hello everyone my Midas blenny in a QT tank with a few tangs and a clown fish. Yesterday I noticed he had a cut on this side. He’s still active and eating. I wasn’t sure if it was a cut from one of my tangs or uronema. I’m about to take him out and put him in a different tank but what’s the best...

My lights are going out and saw this wound on my chromis? Could it be battle wounds? Been in the tank only a day. I’m not sure if he cut himself or it’s uronema? Sorry if pictures are too blurry. My lights are turning off can’t get any better right now.

I have a newly cycled reef tank, 30 gallons in size, and bought 3 chromis just a week ago. Two died almost instantly with physical symptoms that resemble uronema. I have one still alive, but it also has symptoms now. I'll show pictures. What are my options? I don't have corals or inverts yet...

To make the short and sweet. I am a saltwater newbie. Been doing it for two months now. Stock included two clowns, yellow, watchmen, and pistol, red Cori’s wrasse, some snails and hermits, bangai cardinals…. and then I went to the fish store and got some freaking blue/green chromis. I told the...

Hi all, looking for some advice on this picture attached. Both green chromis last couple days started seeing red spots on them. I did see them being aggressive towards my foxface the other day so not sure if it’s due to the spikes off that or it’s uronema ?? Also if it is uronema, does this...

Just got this guy into QT yesterday from the LFS. Noticed he was having trouble staying upright, moved him into a small isolation box so i could get a better look. Now i see he has a really big sore on his left side by his pectoral fin. He's a bit lethargic and was not difficult at all to catch...

Hi everyone, I have a pair of chromis that have been in copper power at 2.5 for the past 5 days. Knowing that chromis are very susceptible to Uronema, would the disease have shown itself by now, or is it better to start formalin or metro regardless? There is no discoloration on either of the...

I received Melanurus wrasse May 23rd, 8 days ago. The photo above shows the second day after losing some scales. It did not show any symptoms the first day, but overnight it lost scales and now I can see some red sore. It's in qt with scopas, starry blenny, and sixline wrasse I isolated...

I bought this Barlet Anthias a couple of days ago and I noticed now that it looked like he was losing scales in a specific area and came across uronema through this forum. It may be hard to tell from the pictures but at least to me it looks a little bit red like is mentioned with uronema. The...

I recently got 4 green Chromis and a Yellowtail blue damsel. I put them in my invert QT for a week until I get my Fish QT ready to house life. I noticed on 3 of my green Chromis red sores that appear to be Uronema. Medicine is coming in this week but since the sores have appeared I’ve heard they...

These 4 female lyretail anthias were in QT (cuz I got them online). Today I went to do a 100% water change, and I found these 4 dead. I am not sure what killed all of them. The ammonia levels were around .25ppm Nitrite was at zero. 3 of the dead anthias had injuries (as you can see in the...

Saw large growth on clownfish two days ago. Doing 90 minute RRR dips on both clowns for seven days. Does it look like an infection or Uronema?

I have 4 cromis and a few other fish and I need help identifying this outbreak. All the fish are fine except these dang cromis. One got very bad very quickly I think it go hit by a shrimp bullet or cleaner. But the other one has weird markings on it and it’s got no red and doesn’t look like...

I had what I believe to be a vibrio outbreak wipe out most of my tank. I have a microscope on the way so I can confirm that it isn’t uronema. I’ve removed what’s left of the fish. They’ve been in QT for a week, treating with Maracyn 2 + KanaPlex. There’s only three fish remaining out of 18...

Humblefish's quarantine protocol and BRS video on quarantining for Brook & Uronema have rather conflicting advice about prophylactic treatments for brook/uronema. In summary: BRS video Humblefish Food-soaking with metro Second best option in quarantine No (symptomatic infections only)...

I have uronema in my tank, or at least their DNA. The last fish died, so tearing down the tank and sterilizing is not a problem. But there are a few corals, a shrimp, snails and hermits. They can be housed while the DT is being cleaned, but what can I do to ensure there are no parasites on...
