ich

I can't really get pictures so sorry about that but i just lost 2 clowns 2 ich i presume because they were covered in white spots around the face and now only noticed today my Flame Angel has both its eyes cloudy and now struggling at the bottom. Basically just need to know if there is any hope...

This has to be ich. These little parasites are sitting on my live rock. Have no fish in my tank other than my porcupine puffer a snowflake eel and some inverts. Puffer is immune to the ich so is the eel.

Sorry if this seems like a stupid question but I'm genuinely concerned, so in the past I lost all my fish to either ick or velvet (it was one or the other) so I completely left my tank fishless for a very long time (coral only), but due to a lightning issue all of my coral died (light became too...

I recently had an ich or velvet outbreak in tank of 75 gallons. Most of the fish died. Porcupine puffer is still alive and healthy so is the snowflake eel and inverts 2 shrimp 2 starfish. Is this ich or velvet and how to get rid of it? https://share.icloud.com/photos/0226WHG5rZ7toheudK-e99jVQ

Hi guys, I recently picked up a very healthy Copperband from my trusted LFS. He was feeding on various frozen foods at the store when I bought him. He has acclimatised to my tank well and feeds on frozen mysis and devours live muscles. Recently I have noticed a buildup of small white and...

Something that looks like ich/velviet showed up on my clowns yesterday. I’m leaning towards ich because I’ve had them in the dt for a month with no problems and there were quarantined before that. No other fish have been affected yet. Any help would be appreciated. Pictures attached

I’ve been treating my mini blue hippo tang for ich with copper for about a week now. I noticed today there’s some black spots but they’re not raised. I got prazi pro so that I can treat if needed but I’m not sure if it’s even necessary. She’s only about an inch and a half long and she’s doing okay.

Hi all, It’s been a few weeks now since introducing my copperband into the display and it’s eating well on live black worms, clams and muscles. It has a strong appetite and it seems like I picked up a good one.. until last night I observed Ich on the fins/tail. It’s almost impossible to...

My juvenile tang was doing great. Ive had him for close to 3 months now. I have ich in my tank but have a cheap UV to help with management. Unfortunately, I think he’s not doing too well since my tang doesn’t look great. I’ve seen the ich come and go but this time, it’s a bit much. He’s not...

So I've got only 4 fish in my 32 gallon tank right now, two clownfish, an azure damsel and my Royal Gramma, all of whom have been in the tank for about a year. All fish added have been treated with Copper power and paracleanse, and have never shown any sign of sickness. Just today I noticed it...

just got my white-tail bristle tooth ! it said online that it was pre-quarantined, so I assumed it would only need observation qt. but i’m seeing white flecks in the shipping bag as i’m acclimating to temp ? there are no white dots or lesions at all on the fish and it’s already regained a lot of...

I got this tang a few weeks ago. Everything was fine until yesterday I saw some white spots on it. Today it got worse and the white spots are now also turning black and with the lights out it's even red... I thought it was a case of ich, but now I don't know. Help me ID please so I can treat him...

I was having a clownfish in my 2 feet tank, All of a sudden it jumped out and died. Later I bought and around 5 clown fishes, it all died within a week. Later I found some little things were swimming in the tank and it multiplied so much. Then i took a drop of water and looked at it under...

Hello, I bought a coral beauty that was supposed to be treated in copper before purchasing. After about 4 hours of being in the tank and the lights went blue, I noticed it had ich on its body. Does this cause concern about it dropping off the fish? Is my tank now infected within such a short...

Hi, I am new to Maine hobby. I have a 3 months old tank with 2 clown fish one fox face and a regal blue tang, No corals. The fishes are showing early signs of ich. Can i treat the display tank itself with copper. i am planning to get anemones and shrimps after 4-5 months later. Will this have...

Hey guys, Just wondering if anyone has gotten ICH from LFS and then called them and explained whatever the situation was and the outcome? Did they care? did they offer advice? Did they make it not a big deal or act like it's your fault? Maybe offer a reimbursement for it. Also anyone have any of...

Hello, I’m hoping someone can. Please help me out with some advice. Friday I picked up a flame angel, and a bunch of invertebrates. The flame angel was said to be in copper and looked perfectly healthy when I got him. He was eating the next day and everything has been normal. I put him in a...

Hello everyone, I have a question mu sailfin has these black spots they lighten and darken here and there through the day, breathing seems fine, eats like a pig daily Water parameters are in normal limits, phos is slightly high but still not too bad. Sailfin resides solo with a cleaner wrasse...

Does everyone think this is ich? Got this Scott’s fairy two days ago and sitting in my QT. Eating fine on a combination of frozen blood worms, mysis with garlic and brine. I dosed copper a few hours ago.

I’m hoping you’ll can help me diagnose what my blue tang has. These are new fish I added a month ago. I know I should have QT them first. But either way I had pulled all my first 2 weeks ago from my DT after my sailfin was showing signs of ich/velvet. I immediate got them into QT and dosed...

Hi reefers, recently discovered that my purple tang is covered with white spots. It looks very like ich, but the spot is much larger and some of them are peeling off from the skin (still attached, looks like the skin is peeled off). It still eats, and looks fine.

Hi All, My purple tang and lipstick tang got white spots. However this is my first time with disease on any of my fish so I’m not sure whether this is ich or velvet or something else? It started around week and a half ago. First I’ve turned on UV light and I feel like it helped slightly for a...

My new blue spot puffer has been in the quarantine tank for five days. This morning he had these three white spots on the right side of his belly. What is it? How can I treat it?
