Tangs body and eye looks funny

[merlberg]

So a few days ago my powerhead stopped. Didnt have a powerhead for maybe 5 days and seems like my tank caught ich out of nowhere. Haven’t introduced any new fish in 2018 at all and i’ve had my 120 gal for over 5 yrs. anyone knows what may have happened please?

Sounds like ich was latent in your aquarium, and the decreased oxygen level from not having a powerhead (gas exchange) weakened your fishes' immune systems. Making an outbreak more possible to occur.

I was worried that’s what it was. For some reason I’m unable to upload the video and i’m on the app. I went to the website and it still said it was unable to load the video -_-
At this point all I can realistic do is ich managment and all my fish including a tomato clown who seems to have ich as well is all eating. I have a flame angel in there that is healthy and seems to not have been infected which is odd.

Do any of your other fish look like this?

It looks like you may be dealing with velvet.

If it's just ich, and not velvet as mentioned above... a proper diet and not stressing your fish out any further may get it under control. A better pic would help...
