fish disease

Hi everyone new here im excited to get started on the forum! so i have just purchased the Fluval evo 13.5 after a year without a reef tank as my old one i had to sell as i moved away for a while but i still have some of the equipment left like the thermometer, power head,heater,my turkey...

So my newest tank had velvet and the very last fish, (there was only 3 but still sad), died. I loathe velvet with every fiber of my being. Now, I’m wondering what to do. I want to change the substrate anyway so I thought I would chick the old and start new, change the filter/media and let it...

Hello everyone, Does anyone know what happened to my fire fish and clownfish? The fire fish got some grey spots on both sides of body. It started with only one spot and now there are so many.... is this caused by parasites? As to the black spot on clownfish, it started one week ago after I put...

Hi everyone, So I bought this fish a week ago and today I noticed that their eyes got some cloudiness with it. I have a new tank and everything in it started from scratch. I am not sure if my tang had a little battle with my clownfish because one of my clownfish's tail had a little scratch...

sorry the pictures are a bit fuzzy, this guy is very hard to catch on camera lol! what's this look like to you? he acts normal, no swimming into the powerheads or anything, eats well but not ravenous. but he's definitely got some fuzz going on :( there's always something going wrong in this...

Earlier this week I lost my coral beauty. Now my strawberry pseudo chromis is showing almost identical symptoms. I’m starting to think they have a type of disease. Can anybody help me, and what should I do to keep my other fish from this. Also my fish isn’t normally in a glass, I just put him in...

Hi Today I noticed that my Auriga was laying on the sandbed and a died 30 minutes later, the fish looked fine a couple of hours earlier and did eat as normal. As you can see he have redish scales, what could the reason be behind his death? What disease should I treat for before my other fish...

Hi guys, I got this fish from Liveaquaria about 20 days ago and after 2 days of being in QT we moved it to the my new DT tank. It had a wound on it's side from trying to go under the rock so I treated the entire tank with Seachem Paraguard for 10 days. Things got better after the 4th day of...

Hello all! It’s a sad morning for me as I woke up to my first fish casualty. My hopes for this post is to get any advice as to what may have happened so that I can prevent it in the future. It’s a bit of a long story but I’ll try to be concise. My royal gramma was the first fish in my tank...

I have a clownfish has pop eye and the royal gramma seems be doing this weird thing against the wall. He also is not as purple as he was. All other fish seem fine, eating and Swimming healthy. Just did a water change today as well, all levels are fine as they should be. I’m pretty new to this...

Hey guys, I have two clowns, and the smaller one is a super finicky eater. He does not get excited about food, he will either swim up to food and then let it hit the ground or instantly spit it out. He is SO much skinnier than the bigger clown, and I am worried he's going to be dead soon. I am...

So hadn't noticed anything on my Bicolor blenny till today, but it appears that part of his color is fading in different spots on his body, most on one side. It's almost looks like it is slightly bleached? I'll try and attach a decent pic, but he's easily the hardest fish to get a good pic of in...

I can't figure out what is wrong with my clowns. Had them for 3 months. Only fish in the tank. Added some CUC and corals over the last 2 months. All corals QT'd and dipped multiple times, CUC wasn't QT'd. A pair of clowns was tank bred at the local LFS. I did notice female had white stringy poop...

First of all, greetings to everyone jumped into this thread, this is my first thread in R2R though i've never expected my first post would be a pest-id topic... I got a tank of Chaetodontoplus, four of them (singapore angel, scribbled angel, blue line and a conspicuous ) in a 4inch tank About...

Is anyone familiar with this disease (watch video)? I fed a lot less over the last two weeks n now this.

I dun goofed. I introduced a clownfish to my display without QTing recently. I knew better and I did it anyway. Shame on me. (I also posted this in the wrong forum earlier.) Anyway, now Bentley (Bristletooth) and Jubilee (Yellow) have some kind of skin condition. I’m scared it’s brook, but I...

My tank is 2 months old. I added 2 juvenile Percula Clownfish at the very beginning and they have been great. 3 weeks later I added a Royal Gramma and they all were great. 2 weeks later I added an Orchid Dottyback. Again, all great. 1 week ago I added 5 new snails. None of them were...

Hello picked up a awsome find today from my LFS! 3inch juvenile emperor angelfish for $40 . Fish was not eating . Came home and check the copper levels of the store water and it was over 5pp (thats the highest hanna checker goes) found it pretty crazy that fosh can live in that high copper

So I haven’t noticed it until today but I’m not sure if it’s anything please help me out!! Is this ick Forming? Or maybe another fish has been biting his fin? When he first got in the tank my Nemo and him fought for a day or two and after that everything was fine..it’s been about a week or 2 and...

Hey Everyone! I was wondering if you could help me with a problem I may be having. I just cycled my new tank (both ammonia and nitrite were zero), did a water change, then purchased three chromis from my LFS. I broke down my previous tank and have all the livestock set up in holding tanks with...

Hi All, I recently picked up a trio of chromis and they all died due to Uronema. Although, I have no other fish living in the tank. I read online once it's in a system, it's difficult to remove. Does anyone have any recommendations? Should I do a 100% water change? Or will it die out on its own?

I need your help Reef2Reef crew! In my 55 gallon mixed reef I've lost 3 fish this week. Parameters are Po4 undetectable/trace, nitrates undetectable/trace, Alk 10, Calcium 460. The symptoms are as follows: This is on different days, I'd feed the tank and the fish would eat. First time, Bangaii...

I've recently noticed my ornate leopard wrasse striking her body against the sand. I only recently noticed this. Do you think it could be ich? Or is this normal behavior since she sleeps in the sand. Today I took this video of her behavior, and it occurred right before she buried in the sand to...

Hi, I'm new to the forum. Excited to bask in the knowledge of experienced reef keepers! I had an outbreak of marine velvet in my display tank. I'm new to the hobby, and as an ignorant newbie thought I could get away with not quarantining. Well, after about 3 weeks of having some fish in the...
