gill flukes

I've just got my first pair of clowns and they've been in copper quarantine (Copper Power 2.20-2.4 ppm, measured with Hanna HR Copper Checker) since the 24th of May. I occasionally see the smaller one (darker color, let's call him Steven) twitched like he was having a spasm, and today, I noticed...

Hi! I was doing a water change today and noticed a “thing” on my clownfish. Appears to be white/light in color, is on the bottom near its right side gill, and appears to be maybe 1/8 long. My first thought was a fluke or some kind of worm. Did a FW dip and it remains on the fish. Attempted a...

Im 95% sure my fishes have gill flukes. Started with a new fish added. Head twitching, swimming into wavemaker, scratching side of head/gills on rock. So i started hypo @1.009 like 5 days days ago. I did see some change. Fish were scratching less. Fw dipped my scopas(culprit), foxface and coral...

I didn’t have a QT tank so I put her in a large Tupperware, I’ve had her since last October and she always thrived. I have a 75g tank and all of the parameters are normal, she’s always hiding in her little hole and she only comes out to eat, but today she was found laying on the sand barely...

My wrasse has been acting like he has had flukes for the last two weeks. I have been feeding mysis with seachem focus+metroplex. He has been eating everyday even on his worst seeming days so I didn't ever worry. I don't have an air stone so I was going to get one today incase this was an oxygen...

Hello, I unfortunately lost a 2+ year old Royal Gramma to some unknown issue. Up until about a week ago, it was actively eating, swimming out and about, and looked perfect and vibrant. One morning I noticed it didn't come out for food, thought it was strange, but didn't think about it. As the...

Anyone have experience with prazipro in a mature reef tank? I have gill flukes and trying to weigh the possible consequences on corals and other inverts. Obviously have to take out the feather duster. Anything else?

This week I noticed a couple of my fish were "gone" following a quick business trip to Houston for a few days... That being said I found my yellow clown goby at night swimming frantically all around the tank acting very abnormal with possibly red gills from what I could make out which died the...

Hi All, last week I purchased Royal Gramma and placed it in a QT tank. After few days I saw it scratching against the heater and I started copper (copper safe) treatment. Copper lever is on 2ppm according to API test kit. Two days later and I see it scratching every now and then. Sometimes 3-4...

I am going mental now. Everything is fine in my display tank with Ph being 8.0, ammonia being 0 and the same can be said for nitrite, phosphates and nitrates. Yet as soon as I added some tank water to quarantine, it only took a day for the chromis in quarantine to show signs of gill flukes as...

I have left my DT fallow of fish for over a year now and I currently have a blue green chromis in my QT for about 2 weeks but ever since I added a scoop full of DT water to the QT to make sure theres nothing in it, my chromis progressively started showing trouble to eat food when I did this a...

I purchased this orchid dottyback 2 weeks ago and It has had this one slightly puffed gill the entire time. At least I think it is slightly enlarged from its other. I thought maybe it was just an injury it sustained as I got two and they quarrelled the first day. They both hunt pods constantly...

When the fish enters the tank it is perfectly healthy and eating regularly however its appetite slowly begins to go down until it stops eating, this is noticeable after two weeks. By around the third it starts flashing against rocks and erratically swimming all over the tank causing bruises and...

Hi everyone. I found this forum on Google while trying to search for info and pictures to try and identify what is going on in my saltwater tank and am new to this forum. So here is where I am (hope you have a large coffee or drink to get you thru this book I am about to give you). Main Tank...

Hi all, Unfortunately, I have what appears to be another sick fish. My tomini tang has a red face, stopped eating, and is swimming in a back and forth jerky motion. His breathing also seems to be slightly elevated. Ammonia and nitrite show test 0 ppm and nitrate at 10-20 ppm. Any ideas what it...
