So my white bristle tooth tang had white spots on its body that looked rather large to look like ich. I figured it might be due to abrasions since he loves to swim into all the crevices or maybe a sting from my rbta as he seems daring. He does visit my skunk shrimp quiet often for cleaning and...

Hi Guys - I have a simple question - what is the therapeutic dose for the Brightwell Aquatics CUPIRON product? Is it 0.5ppm same as Seachem Cupramine? Or is it 0.4ppm or 0.2ppm? I've heard 0.6ppm of ionic copper is fatal. I also know not to use conditioners etc. The bottle only says that...

I recently started the hobby and lost my pair of clowns due to velvet, I made the mistake of not quarantining and will never make it again. My question is do I have to quarantine incoming fish in a established tank? I just got a quarantine tank and am setting up I intend to treat incoming fish...

I’m currently using API Super Cure Ick at half the recommended dose (I have 3 Mystery snails), and noticed my black molly (i also have 4 tetras, and 3 danio in 30 gal) is also showing signs of a possible secondary infection with fin rot. I only noticed these symptoms on my molly, most likely...

Recently just started up a 37g tank, I’m on week 2 of cycling and I had a pair of clown in there to help cycle. I noticed 1/2 clowns started showing signs of ich so I removed them both into a hospital tank and begun treating them. The one experiencing symptoms did not make it, the other clown...

Hi all, I'm looking for some advice on my new tank and 2 clowns. The fish have been added 5 days ago. For a little while all was looking well but now i'm worried for the small clown. Both off the clowns had white stringy poo in the first days and didn't eat much. The larger clown is now eating...

My scopas tang just passed away from ich. Now I noticed two of my other fish are having the white spots and I want to catch it before it gets worse. I know copper is an option but I don’t want to kill my coral. Any tips?

Hey y'all! I'm looking for some guidance. I currently have a Coral Beauty in a QT. I got the fish on 2/14/20 and a few days later noticed some white spots on it's forehead area. I wanted to give the fish a chance to acclimate to its new environment and it was eating like a pig and swimming...

My tang came down with this about 10 days ago and it spread to my blue jaw trigger, royal gramma, and both clowns. The gramma has since passed. The fish are clearly distressed but still take food.

Hi all, very long time reader-first time poster on this new account since I haven’t a clue what i used as a login years ago. Hopefully some of the legends such as @Humblefish may chime in on this one. Purchased a longnose butterfly a month ago from a not so great LFS via a deal I couldn’t pass...

Hi everyone. I'm stressing over here. I've had this Picasso clown for about a year now and he's now showing signs of ich or maybe brook. His partner jumped out of the tank a few days ago so I got him a replacement maybe four days later but they seem to be getting along just fine. All the other...

Hello. I’m not sure if this is ich or not! Someone please help. You can not really see it but it is only on his back fin so I’m guessing maybe fungal?

Just noticed 2 white spots (almost looks like grains of salt) on the left side of my sailfin tang, as well as what looks to be scratches behind its eyes. He’s still eating, not aggressive or agitated, and I don’t see him scraping up on rocks. But those marks still worry me, does anyone know what...

So I had gone through an ich outbreak and long story short, I had a few unfortunate deaths. My powder brown, cleaner wrasse, clownfish and damsels. The only survivor was my diamond goby and probably because they are quite disease resistant and he was constantly getting cleaned by my shrimp. He...
