***Sorry in advance for the long read***if you’ve had experience with Ich/Brook…I would love your advice and feedback! Starting a week ago I noticed my black clownfish had what I thought was Ich. Initially I did RODI dip—helped significantly, almost all spots fell off and started treating DT...

Looking for some input here. I have a hybrid achilles tang that completed QT about 3 weeks ago. Hybrid TTM with formalin bath on transfer days. Eating aggressively and healthy. Today while putting him in acclimation box in my display I noticed a texture evenly throughout his body almost like...

Hey guys, So yesterday morning my trigger was fine, ate like a pig, everything normal. Last night it jumped out of the tank and managed to land on top of my tank cover, it was out for a few seconds before I heard it and put him back in. He proceeded to try to have his mouth out the water kinda...

I am attaching a short video of my pearlscale butterfly. I’ve had it for about three weeks now. Eats like a pig. Has a lot of personality. But will scrape against rocks. I noticed a few spots that look like scales peeling off. I pulled carbon and dosed Prazipro this past Sunday. Also put in an...

Water Parameters: Ammonia: 0 ppm Nitrite: 0 ppm Nitrate: 30 ppm pH: 7.8 Over the last couple weeks I’ve had this going around my tank. I brought in a flameback angelfish (and like a fool, didn’t quarantine). Soon after I introduced the flameback angelfish, two cardinalfish died seemingly for...

Hello, #fishmedic #jayhamdel #vetteguy53081 Starting to see some white spots on of course the one non quarantined fish in my tank. Any idea if this is Ich and next steps? Other fish don’t seem to be affected so far… Thanks !

I had a goby pass away a couple days ago, and now the tail spot blenny in the same tank is acting the same way. symptoms: Little reaction to my presence Tends to stay in one place/inactive High respiration (160ish on goby) Camo mode more often with blenny Just noticed this today and connected...

Hello, I am seeking some help to diagnose and plan a course of treatment for a scribbled angelfish. I purchased her 2 1/2 weeks ago and settled her in my QT with no issues. She was eating brine and mysis shrimp and showed no signs of any problems. This weekend I moved her to my main reef...

Hey guys, I’m adding these pics to make sure my gem tang is ok. I know it has stress spots which I’ll see every now and then but it’s more like a sideways v pattern. I see these larger white spots on it which I’m wondering what it is. It’s eating and swimming fine, I don’t know if it’s just me...

I have another clownfish and a goby and they’re fine. My clownfish is still eating and swimming normally, which i guess is a good sign How do i treat him asap? Attached a video below

Got a coral beauty from LFS Sunday, do not have a quarantine setup currently so it went into the main display tank. Watching it swim around today and realized it has white dots on it, so the uh-ohs started coming… they look raised, so I am hoping it is something on the fish, almost like micro...

I currently have a pair of clowns in observation from my lfs and today one of them is showing some strange change in its color, im just looking for some help identifying the issue. Thanks

Hey guys, I’m back to share my turmoil and maybe get some support again from you all. My tank was doing great after my last post regarding treating my tank with copper and raising salinity. I had done a few water changes after my copper treatment and copper was down low to a 0.69 ppm. All the...

Our Carpenter's flasher wrasse has been acting very unusually over the past week... hiding for most of the day, often resting on the substrate or hiding in rocks. He won't come out to eat, but if I manage to sink some pellets near where he's resting he'll dart out to eat a bite or two. Today...

Hey guys, Can anyone ID this if it is in fact Brooklynella. My clownfish is breathing heavy and has abruptly stopped eating. She appears to have a flaky like substance slowly building up around her and her orange color is now significantly less vibrant. She has been in qt with copper power for...

Yesterday I made a bad impulse buy of a royal gramma. Bad as in I was at petco and said “what the heck” I’ve only ever purchased one other fish from there and it did fine. Anyway, long story short it is now dead. Fortunately I kept the receipt and got my money back but here’s what happened: the...

I have an ORA Harptail blenny in prophylactic QT that looks like it is almost dead. Seachem badge shows no ammonia, nitrates tested at 6.8 last night via Hannah colorimeter. Slowly raised copper to 2.5 over the span of about 10 days and we are on day 9 of copper. Last night I added my third dose...

What’s up guys just recently picked up a royal gramma basslet and noticed some discoloration today, which may be from stress but I wanted to see what others thought. He ate pretty much as soon as I put him in the tank and hasn’t shown any symptoms other than the discoloration. Sorry for poor...

I have had a goldie for over 3 years and woke up to a serious wound this morning. I'm thinking he maybe got caught by my bubble tip anemone, which is a new addition but it hasn't even opened up fully yet, it has left me perplexed. Just tested the water 2 weeks ago and everything was within...

I have a juvenile Blue Tang who could probably fit in my palm, 2-3” I bought her from Petco and added her to my tank, she seemed really healthy and was happily acclimating with other fish. After a month I left on a trip for 2 weeks, during which my partner and a friend who has experience with...

I thought this was a CB interbreeding problem, showing up with stress etc. Could it be his new tank mate the springer damsel or possibly the lawnmower goby being defensive with him? I also have 2 cave tunnels at my rockwork, so could he have just scraped his forehead going thru?

I recently added 4 Anthias, 3 are doing totally fine, eating, all that, one decided to go hide under some rocks. After a couple of days of this I removed it to a QT tank for observation and it's not doing well, but it's quite unclear as to what the cause might be. Observations: -not eating...

Hello All, Just noticed this today, the fish is still eating but he is swimming a little odd not using that fin much. Is this a swim bladder issue or is this damage?. I just saw the fish poop a little didn’t know if this was possible constipation or worse. Thanks, Ethan

Hello, So I made an emergency thread a week or 2 ago too and I'm having a similar problem again. The back story: on 20th of August I got my 15gallon fish tank that had been sitting running for a few months with no fish at my LFS. They told me that the water parameters were good so I got a...

Long story short, I have one clownfish survivor from a previous tank. The clownfish was medicated and has been healthy and happy for about a month now. I recently got a new clown which now appears to have some kind of bacterial infection. Can I move both clownfish over to the hospital tank and...
