ich

So I purchased a purple and yellow tang and added them at the same time 125 gallon tank. I noticed a few days later some dots on the purple.. they are both eating well and not flashing like many do with ich.. it went from just a handful of dots to ALOT!! I’ve run ichX for the past three days at...

So I’ve been running my 25 gal for a bit now (probably 2 months) and about 1 week ago, I brought in a shrimp to the tank. I don’t know if this was just a coincidence but when he was added to the tank, the next day I noticed my royal dottyback had around 5 white spots on his fins. I was quite...

Hey everyone I just noticed on one of my clowns has a weird white pimple/ lifted dot on the side of him. I’m not sure if it’s ich or some sort of other parasite or illness. Does anyone know what this could be?

I have a sailfin tang that has been QT'ed for about 4 weeks now. Her first 10 days she was being treated with 20mg/l of Chloroquine Phosphate (CP), and then went back to just observation (no meds in the water). She started to show signs again of what I thought was velvet. I got the best pictures...

Hi all, Reaching out regarding fish disease that started after buying new fish. I was going to be out of town and did not quarantine properly and my Maroon Clown and Yellow tang have developed what appears to be velvet (not sure, see pictures). I could only get clear pictures of my clown...

My tank is about two months old and I have two clownfish and a clown goby. They all have ich I have a quarantine tank going and I bought cupramine at the store how do I dose it correctly. It’s a ten gallon tank filled to about 9 gallons. With a filter and heater.

I'm in week 7+ of QT (quarantine). I have completed the TTM (tank transfer method) and they're awaiting their return to the DT (display tank) after the seventy something days to prevent reinfection of Ich. Can you please help me identify what this is (and hopfully propose a treatment method)? I...

Whoops! Wrong thread, sorry. I've moved it under Fish Disease Treatment and Diagnosis: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/brooklynella-velvet-flukes-ich-or-other.696929/

Dear reefers, Yesterday i was looking at 1 of my clowns and i sawe somenthing odd, there are really small white dots on his side. I cant rembember that he had the white spots from te beginning. i've been looking at his behavior but he acts normal and eats well. I dont know if it are white...

Hi, I recently added a couple chromis to my nano tank and they sadly passed away very quickly. I cant imagine it was due to water quality or acclimation. Took a picture of one of the chromis and seemed to have black spots on the face. No idea where this disease could have come from. My clownfish...

Hello Everyone! I wish I had a more exciting discussion topic for my first post on R2R but we deal with the hand we are dealt. I recently decided to get back into the hobby after being out of it for almost 10 years (tragic story there). Either way, I decided I wanted to do it 100% the right way...

I am not sure if I am being paranoid or not so I figured I would ask the experts. Tang is not showing any labored breathing, normal eating, no scratching. Seems to be about 5 small bumps under his skin on his side, small but noticeable because I look at him everyday. And like 4 white dots on...

I've been treating this anthia in qt for about 9 days with copper safe at 2.0. But recently saw its fins. There are no other spots on the body and it almost seems like there is too many spots on the fins to be ich.

For all of you TTM proponents... It finally happened to me. I have a major ich infestation in my display. So far only my blue tang and sailfin have visible symptoms. Because it is a fully operating reef, I feel my only method of treatment will be removing the fish.I feel that tank transfer...

Ok , so this won’t be to most people’s liking since there’s dif strokes for dif Folks. As reefers we need to be more responsible than we are. We need to start helping our fellow hobby members become better reefers through less miss-information when we’re telling someone how to deal with pests...

My blue tang has some fluffy looking spots on him. Flukes? Should I freshwater dip? Check out the video. I added prazipro to the tank this morning.

Hi everyone, I hope everybody is doing good. I have some questions about marine ich, I want to separate fact from fiction so if you can help me out I’d very much appreciate it. 1. Can a fish have ich and not show any signs of it? 2. I’ve been told a fish can carry ich and not show signs of it...

My new purple tang seemed to be looking healthy for the first few days and is now starting to worry me. White spots/dots are all over his body and fins. Is this ich or marine velvet? Or somthing else? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks

2 days ago I noticed that two fish in my display tank began to contract Ich, probably stress related as I just added a new butterflyfish that had otherwise been healthy for 6 months in my LFS. I separated them in a 5 gallon bucket (heated w/ an air stone) and treated with marine Ich-X (full...

I will be moving soon and want to split my fish from my 90g Reef into 2 separate 20 gallon tanks for treatment. I bought a tang and some anthias on Black Friday and finally my luck had run out and my fish got ich and possibly an internal parasite "white stringy poop". 2 of the 3 anthias ended up...

Hello all, I am new to Marine Tank and Saltwater aquariums and looking forward to share stories and learn about different techniques and tips for my 20 gal reef tank. I'm currently having a huge problem with the Tank. All my fish (2 Clowns, 2 blue Damsels and 1 Yellow Watchman Goby) died...

So about 2 hours ago I fed my clownfish and he was normal and then an hour ago I was looking at him and noticed this white spot right under his mouth and at first I thought he was scratching against the glass and his clay pot but looked closer and it looked more like he was eating pods off of...

Hey guys, I got my first tang today but I'm really worried. He has many white spots and i dont't know if it is just stress or ich that i have to fight. He is in qt right now...... Would be great if someone could help me. He is in the qt now for around 2 hours but not swimming at all, I think the...

Hi so I got home to feed my dwarf lionfish and noticed he had some white bumps all over his body (pictures attached). Is this ich and if it is how should I go about treating it. (He is in a QT tank)

First of all, thank-you in advance for any recommendations you're able to provide! I've been reef keeping for about 3.5 years and enjoy the challenges of it. I've made the rookie mistakes and tried to learn from all of them. I was able to hook up with an awesome LFS where I lived and they were...
