Just done with a water change and saw these spots on my foxface, had him for 2 weeks now and he still shows bad stress signs when doing a water change which I assume is normal.

They are small white spots, were not there before the water change which I cleaned the sand.
No spots at all on the fins and shape not round/oval, so I’m not seeing ick or velvet.Thank you, I asked the store I get all my fish from and he thought it wasn't ich and was not sure what it was but was going to look into it. It is just strange that it came up after a water change.
It looks like fluke to me. It's not super dangerous and my tank gets it from time to time. Your fish has more flukes than mine have.It almost looks like they are protruding from his body.
So I should get a cleaner shrimp to see if that helps? I have wanted one anyways.It looks like fluke to me. It's not super dangerous and my tank gets it from time to time. Your fish has more flukes than mine have.
A freshwater dip helps a lot. Prazi for 3-5 hours with an air stone and heater is better still. If you treat it you'll be ok. If you don't you might be ok anyway.
Also, I've had luck with cleaner goby and cleaner shrimp. I've seen my cleaner goby suck a fluke out of my wrasse's eye. Boom, all better.
It won't hurt, especially for any reoccurrence. But if I saw it that advanced I'd dip him.So I should get a cleaner shrimp to see if that helps? I have wanted one anyways.
What do I dip him in? Gonna be a pain to catch him if I have to!It won't hurt, especially for any reoccurrence. But if I saw it that advanced I'd dip him.
This all assume I'm right and it's fluke. I'd love to see some of r2r's guru's tell us if I'm right.
Two stepsWhat do I dip him in? Gonna be a pain to catch him if I have to!
I will wait to see what others think before going for this.Two steps
1) 3-5 minutes in fresh water and you'll see the flukes leaving him.
2) 3-5 hours in salt water with prazi, a small heater, and an air stone.
Step 2 removes all the little guys inside him, his gills, etc.
If I had to catch a rabbit fish I'd use nori in a trap.
Good plan. RODI but I'm not sure it matters. Get the temp right for him.I will wait to see what others think before going for this.
Do I use freshwater or rodi?
The white spots are gone! I have no clue what that was....
Oh I will, I watch then very closely!As I mentioned yesterday, ich spots come and go at the beginning of an infection, so keep a close eye on it.
