sick fish

I have done a lot of research, talked to many salt water experts, CAN NOT pin point what is going on with my boxfish. He has white spots all over and they look almost fuzzy. Will include a photos, won’t let me attach a video so they aren’t great . I tried a fresh water dip and nothing came of...

I ordered a Desjardini Sailfin tang and Emperor Angelfish from LiveAquaria a little over 4 weeks ago. Both fish arrived and looked ok. I did my regular drip acclimation and added both fish to the QT Tank. I noticed the emperor angel was breathing very rapidly. On the 7th day evening, I noticed...

Hello, I’m new to reefing and have been absorbing tons of info on this site. Thank you to all who share your experience for us newbies! Unfortunately, I have had my tank for about 60 days and 1 of my clownfish is struggling and would appreciate any advice! Pictures attached. It’s the larger of...

Been awhile since I posted but my Clownfish looks to have blisters on its fin and tail. It still eats good and swims normal. These are the best pictures I could get. None of my other fish have these symptoms not even the mate to this clown.

Hello! I received a Dejardini Tang the other day from someone who could no longer take care of it. However when I received it, it was in terrible shape. It looks like it has HLLE and I’m not sure if it has tail rot as it was previously housed with a porcupine puffer. I also can’t tell if there...

Hi all! Please help me. Last week I posted about my clownfish in quarantine getting sick after a herbtana dosing. I ended up doing a progressive water change in a 24 hour period. on 08/25 I thought he might be dead but when I tried to fish him out of the tank he darted up. He looked really...

Yellow Tang I’ve had my Yellow Tang for over six years and he’s been a model citizen. Ammonia in my tank is zero and all other fish (anthias, leopard wrasse, gramma) are all fine. The Yellow Tang behavior is always out in the open and eating. For the past two three days my tang has stopped...

Hi everyone, you can skip to the third paragraph for the short version of this. I bought two clownfish and a randall's goby two weeks ago and added them to my aquarium (20 gallon long), these are my first fish. About a week ago one of my clownfish stopped eating, the next day it was having...

Hi Everyone, My tailspot blenny is looking a little worse for wear. His belly is now concave, and his face is looking really skinny. It resembles a really skinny person when their cheekbones are visible. He is now sticking to the bottom of the tank, not moving, whereas before (two days ago) he...

Hey guys need help, my new watchman goby started to be lethargic 2 days ago and now he spins like a corkscrew when he swims, I put him in the first chamber of my aio so the other fish won't bother him. Should I euthanize him or just keep trying to feed him. He's breathing slowed a little bit...

I have a sick goby that might be dying, I can't feed him medication (metroplex because of the risk of other inverts eating it) also don't have qt, i don't see any white spots on him except for his bottom lip which has a white spot, he was fine for the past few days, but he started to be...

I just received a Yellow Longnose Butterflyfish from Liveaquaria.com that has a rather bad jaw issue. It looks like it's splitting/degrading. Has anyone seen this before? How can I treat this?

I've come to learn that my Blue Tang is sick. Being new to the hobby I have done as much research as I can reviewing Humblefish's work, but I'd like some advice to confirm my findings... and to also give guidance on how to best handle possible Marine Ich in a new tank (2 months old). Symptoms...

Hello My aquilles tang got ich bit now it has some white sports on his chest and his lower tail, os it still ich related or something else? Thankyou

Well my blue hippo tang keeps rubbing himself on rocks. This is my first tang. I got him from my Lfs 4 days ago. The guy there said that these tangs usually act weird. So is this normal weird blue tang behavior or something else like ich or velvet. He looks fine and eats like a pig on anything...

Hello, am I new to this incredible hobby and have had mu share of mistakes and things that need to improve, I recently had ich in my tank and I put a cleaner wrasse that was working with all the my fish 24/7 never stop eating the white spots. Now I see him tired and kind of sick. So my question...

So last night I did a big water change and brought up the salinity almost 3 ppm. I know it was probably stressful but i needed to do it. I have a 150 call on tank and 30 gallon sump I removed and replaced about 66 gallons last night. Woke up and added some seaweed and fed the goby. The foxface...

So I got my first 2 fish today a purple fire fish goby(was supposed to be just a fire fish goby but the company sent me the wrong one…) and a foxface rabbit fish. So I noticed my wave maker was just way too much for these little guys! So I turned it all the way down. The the foxface kept trying...

Hey guys, So three days ago I noticed some spots on my sailfin tang skin. This fish has been with me for almost 5 months now and eats really well. The only symptom i've seen is scratching agains the rocks . Any ideas as to what it is? Parameters are: Amonia - 0 Nitrites - 0,25 Nitrates - 5 Kh...

Hey everyone! I got my hippo tang in Qt. It has these patches on him now. He didn’t have the one on his head till today, he’s been in copper, nitro, freshwater baths and methylene blue baths. Currently sitting in just saltwater for past 3 days. Is it HLLE? I will try get better pics later. The...

I ordered a large order from Live Aquaria, partially composing of fish from Diver's Den. I bought what was called Freckled Angler from Diver's Den. I thought, wow this fish is pretty cool - and its nice that its from Diver's Den because the fish is supposed to be healthier than from other...

Hello .. one of my clowns seems to have qn issue with her mouth and tale .. not white spots in the aquarium.. thay was developed last few days i beleive.. but its been there for 1 month no issues till today Lall wayer parameters are good

Hi I was hoping someone would be able to tell me if these spots are black ich? I noticed a few black spots when I got him in December but all of a sudden they are all over. I just had a fluke outbreak in my tank and they are doing fine after 2 rounds of prazi pro but is there an ich outbreak...

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...

I don’t think this is an emergency, but one of my clownfish has a white spot on his side..looks like an injury? Skin peel? Not sure, there’s a good photo attached. What is it? There are no other spots on him or my other clown.. He’s not acting weird, and eating fine.
