#ich

Hello, I have had a Fluval EVO for about three months now, when setting the tank up I used some live rock from petco which unknowingly and sadly had some Ich on it which was introduced to my system. I want fallow for a total of 56 days I kept my Display tanks heat elevated at 82 to 86 degrees...

I’ve had a problem with my blue tang getting sick before and many said it was bacterial, so I QT her about 2 weeks and everything cleared up. so I put her back in my display, and a week later after an addition of a royal gramma she pops back up with spots over night. They do not look like ich...

Hi, My parents recently purchased this Mandarin from an LFS that is known for pests in my books. My parents picked it up and decided to surprise me with it on Sunday. I closely examined the fish before it entered the tank and it didn't have any visible diseases. I did a normal acclimation, I let...

Hey folks, was hoping someone could help me identify what’s wrong with my blue tang. I am a newbie and have been in this hobby for about a year. I got two blue tangs like 5 months ago from Blue zoo aquatics and put them in my 750xxl. The first one died within a month. The second one was doing...

I’m on about day 8 of copper treatment level of between 2 and 4. I plan on getting a better copper reader but api is all I had on hand right now. I posted when all this started and we all thought it was ich. However 2 days into QT my flame angel unfortunatley didn’t make it. 48 hours later my...

Hello again. Im thinking my flame angel has ich and velvet or one or the other. Im hoping someone can help me identify it. It seems to be the only fish infected so I set a trap… however it’s been a few days and no luck I can’t catch the little bugger. Tearing everything out isn’t an option...

Hi, I've read a zillion threads at this point, but I want to confirm a diagnosis before I stress out my Power Blue Tang (PBT) with a freshwater dip. He is about 8 years old. My PBT started by having a cloudy eye, and it seemed to be Pop Eye. I gave him Kanaplex, and it cleared up the problem a...

So I had canister filter that leaked on me right after ich breakout that killed my three fishes. I read and found HOB are easier option if there is no sump (I'm not planning on adding sump). I'm content with HOB but will to add uv to it to remove parasites. Can you share link of the UV you...

I just got this blenny from a place that supposedly quarantine after catching fish. Are the little spots ich or maybe sand? Its coloration because of stress? The photos arent very good but its the most i can do rn. I dont have a quarantine tank.

Just wanted to share something I found on YouTube and has worked! Noticed some white spots on my tang the other day which I presumed to be ich. Found a YouTuber who uses ground ginger. All the comments were positive and I did some more research on it found out ginger has been used for parasites...

I have a sick dogface puffer! He has ich I think. I treated with weco nox-ich (Malachite Green) after being recommended by a local fish store. Seems it didn't work or only provided temporary relief. Gave him a FW dip two nights ago. Hoping it's ich and not velvet. Would prefer to stay away from...

Hi, Im currently treating the tank with “Kordon Ich Attack Herbal” which is 100% natural and wont hurt the inverts… I also raised my tank temp to 86… theres also a rabbitfish in my tank with a few spots…. im also having a tough time getting then to eat…any other recommendations on what to do...

recently got a blue spotted puffer(Canthigaster solandr,i think) (, no sign of ich when i got him (12/23) until today 12/28. from what i know/read puffer dont do well with copper but I might take that risk unless i can get some more opinions/help. I believe he got ich from stress? i know puffer...

I have a heater that has ich on it and I was wondering if I could boil it to get rid of the ich? If so what degrees will instantly kill ich? Any other suggestions? I would like to put the heater in today.

My fish got ich around 3 weeks ago and it was successful (as of now). I used this medication named “Seachem Paraguard” and was curious if that sticks to your rocks like copper does? I did not use copper through the ich process. I used these rocks that I would love to put in my DT and was...

So I have inverts in my old DT and I got a new DT but my older DT got ich and I heard that the cyst can stay on their shells. So my old DT has been fishless for about 2 weeks and so are the cyst still on my inverts and should I wait the 6-8 weeks or is their a way to kill the cyst on my inverts...

I am new to saltwater, and recently discovered my 6 striped wrasse has ich! I also have snails, hermit crabs, and an emrald crab. Now, I am going to quarantine my 6 striped wrasse into a different tank. But as I do know snails and crabs can not catch ich but can hold it, should I also remove my...

I communicated with liveaquarias specialist that handles the ich summarizing our conversation in the email she said use garlic and thats basically how they treat for ich. After confirming that they are the source of ich. She stated she doesn't want to answer anymore. Liveaquari has ich. If you...

Hi all I have diagnosed my Emperor Angelfish with ICH. All I can see right now on him is 2 spots I dosed the tank with Kordon Copper-Aid. I also have Kordon Rid ICH as well. I was wondering if I should dose that too at the same time as the copper? Also how often should I Dose the copper the...

To celebrate the 2nd time whole tank fish died to velvet/ich, 2nd time after half year with no fish :)

I have a pretty trustworthy LFS less than 5 minutes from my house and I'm a frequent shopper. I often stop in on new delivery days just to check out what they get in and the like.... anyway, so I brought up today that it appeared that some of my little black bar chromis' were exhibiting symptoms...
