velvet

My 9 month old clownfish appears to have some sort of dust coat. His mated pair (share an anemone) has nothing visible. I did have what I believe to be ich on two tangs, which have fully recovered 1 week ago from diet alterations and herbal medication. A quarantine would be risky since the tank...

Well guys which one am I dealing with? No spots on other fish yet but this guys been In the tank a week and looks pretty covered to me. Didn’t see anything on him in observation which is weird. Ich or velvet?

Please help! Around 3 weeks ago we noticed our Royal Gramma was flashing intermittently, but no other behavioural changes. She was sometimes doing the yawning motion, but mostly around dinner time so thought it was territorial. Then 2 weeks ago I noticed small white spots on my black juvenile...

My blue tang is whith blue spots on her body, its been 2 weeks or more, shes eating normaly and rubbing her body against the rock. I dont know if its ich or velvet, if was velvet she will probably be dead by now. What should i do? It the only fish affected! I have been giving flakes,algar...

Hello all! After many years, seems my time has come... My lil buddy is sick, and by extension, I'm assuming all my fish are sick. Can anyone give me an idea if this is ich or velvet? I'm having troubles, but I think its velvet... I recently moved him (Last Friday) from one of my 50 gallons to...

So I have the Red Sea reefer 525…I have a rabbitfish and a Red Sea sailfin currently. I recently took a blue hippo tang out and quarantined him for mucus cones. The sailfin was fine and all of a sudden yesterday when the lights were off, his color was faded dull looking. Didn’t really look...

Is this Brooklynella or velvet please help. My clownfish just died too. #fishmedic

My clownfish (had for 3 months) has developed white spots on his body, the other clownfish (in dt for 1 month) sometimes lays on the sand. All fish in tank, except the full black clownfish pictured were quarantined (observed) (black hood was first fish). Is this ich or something more insidious...

They do not look like the usual ich to me, is it velvet? added about 4 days ago. still eating well and behaving normally, frozen and nori. Thank you in advance. Should I be qt it and try catch it out? All other fish are behaving fine. Tank is around a year old.

I want to get your guys opinion on this. I’m not sure what’s wrong with my clown fish. One of them is breathing extremely fast and was swimming erratically in the flow from my wave maker. The one that is breathing fast is the one that looks completely fine. The other one with the white gash on...

I’ve had this PBT for a week now, proactively treated with prazi first (for 5 days) did a 50% WC and started copper power. Raised copper to 2.5 over the coarse of 48hrs. Found it lying on the bottom of the tank this morning barely moving. Did a freshwater dip and it sadly passed. Can anyone tell...

IT'S BEEN A TOUGH FEW WEEKS Y'ALL! After losing a some of my beloved fish fam I almost wanted to just give up the whole hobby to be honest. But after getting my remaining fish back to healthy and vibrant I wanted to make this post as more a "lesson learned" post to hopefully help someone else...

Hi, Im a bit of a novice here and im looking for some guidance and perhaps some reassurance that what I've done and am doing is the right thing. I lost all of my fish except 2 wrasses about 7 weeks ago. I have only been in the hobby for a year and didn't realise how important it was to have a...

Hello, I’ve had this pygmy yellowtail angel fish for 3 days now. The first two days they kept to themselves for the most part. On day one when I brought them back home I noticed they had some frayed fins and a small ulceration on their side that disappeared by the next day. On day 2 I noticed...

I've been frantically going through this forum to try and save my moribund clownfish but had no luck unfortunately. My clownfish has died and I have no clue why after extensive testing. Tank is about 2 and a half months old or so. I've had my clowns for a little over a month. Currently...

Blue tang has had white spots developing on him for the past 3 days. Started with one single white spot. Now 3 days later they are covering a lot more of him. I’ve increased feeding to 3-4 times per day. He’s still out swimming and has an appetite. If it weren’t for the spots I wouldn’t think...

I picked up a purple tang a little over a week ago and he has been in quarantine for the last eight days (copper power between 2.3 and 2.5). I noticed some heavy breathing yesterday and he has had a shimmery dusty look. I think it’s possibly velvet. If any of you have any advice or opinions, I...

Sorry if this seems like a stupid question but I'm genuinely concerned, so in the past I lost all my fish to either ick or velvet (it was one or the other) so I completely left my tank fishless for a very long time (coral only), but due to a lightning issue all of my coral died (light became too...

Hey, new to the hobby here, tanks about 3 months old, I have a pair of clowns, the female has been pretty aggressive with the male, nipping his fins and such so I separated him in a little isolation box so he could relax for a few days, as I do not have a separate tank, but now the spots I...

I recently had an ich or velvet outbreak in tank of 75 gallons. Most of the fish died. Porcupine puffer is still alive and healthy so is the snowflake eel and inverts 2 shrimp 2 starfish. Is this ich or velvet and how to get rid of it? https://share.icloud.com/photos/0226WHG5rZ7toheudK-e99jVQ

Something that looks like ich/velviet showed up on my clowns yesterday. I’m leaning towards ich because I’ve had them in the dt for a month with no problems and there were quarantined before that. No other fish have been affected yet. Any help would be appreciated. Pictures attached

In July I lost 7 out of 9 fish to velvet. I moved those two fish into a QT and went 46 days fallow. The fallow period was not successful. The tank had been started in April originally and had 2 tester corals, so I decided to break the tank down and bleach it. I originally had some man made rock...

Back in June I noticed I had some sick fish and on 6/22 I had a massive die off and lost 6 of 8 fish. My diamond goby and zebra bar goby never showed any signs of it. I determined the disease to be velvet that killed everyone else. On 7/8 To be safe, I pulled my survivors out and into...

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, I’m hoping someone can. Please help me out with some advice. Friday I picked up a flame angel, and a bunch of invertebrates. The flame angel was said to be in copper and looked perfectly healthy when I got him. He was eating the next day and everything has been normal. I put him in a...
