Hello all, I’m a newbie to this forum and to saltwater aquariums. I’m currently running a recently cycled Waterbox Frag 105.4. All my parameters are very good and I recently added some fish, one of which was a sapphire damsel fish which was added this past Sunday. Earlier today I notice some sore/abrasion on it’s face and it was hiding underneath some of the rock and just about a hour ago I went looking for it because it hadn’t been out since around 2ish this afternoon. Well It was dead and I got him out of the aquarium and need some assistance trying to determine what this looks like. Doing some investigating on this site, it looks like it’s one of two things:
1) Bacterial infection
2) Uronema
Let m know what you all think and I’ll answer the question I’m sure will be asked, I don’t have a QT this guys was in my DT. I didn’t QT because I (mistakenly) decided that since my lfs told me they treat all their fish, I didn’t have to. Live and learn and I won’t add another fish to my DT until I set up a QT and run all fish through there. See the attached picture.
