sick fish

I stg, I know there is a learning curve, but I feel like I run into something new every day. I have a watchman goby, been in the tank about a month that I just noticed yesterday has slightly cloudy eyes. Per recommendation, I did a 5 minute freshwater dip to check for flukes & other...

Just put my YWG into my nano. He looked ok when I put him in. He did get dipped with hydroplex. He went in at night and lights stayed off for 12+ hours. Checked on him this AM and he looks like he got suckered punched! There is a small clown in there with him along with some tiny blue hermits...

Hello, I'm new here. I joined because I'm trying to save my blue tang. This fish is from a big name pet store. I pointed out the awful condition it was in and they were willing to give it to me for free to try to save it. I am new to saltwater fish, but I couldn't leave this fish there in that...

Hey all! I’ve had a porcupine puffer for about a year, with a handful of other tank mates. The past few months now he has stopped all eating as far as I can see, (always ate from tongs with no issues) he must be eating SOMETHING because he’s still alive and doesn’t look skinny, but he’s...

Any experience with tilting at bottom tank? Our little clown swims in spot a lot and keeps tilting over? He is only with us two full days now. The first day was a little rough, we did the fish in cycle with Fritz turbo 900 & stress guard, with a hour acclimation (last time in-cycle!). We did a...

Hi, all. I have a 30 gallon community fresh water tank. PH leves are fine, temp, etc... Two of my fish have developed white patches. It's not fuzzy looking, and they aren't small white dots. Does anyone have any idea what this may be? Currently, appetite and movement is fine. We had a couple...

Hello, I got this Midas blenny from petco a couple days ago. He looked sick and I would not usually buy a sick fish but he I felt real bad for him and he was still eating so I figured I’d try to save him. He has mouth fungus. Or something like that. His face literally looks like it’s melting...

Hello All, I’ve had my swallowtail angelfish for about a year now. Very active fish and eats well. I noticed yesterday he was laying on the sandbed in between a bunch of rocks. I was surprised to see he appeared dead. I put fish in the tank and he popped up and began eating. After he ate and...

She seems to be swimming fine and even chasing the male once in these videos. She’s breathing rather rapid and seems her gills are now swollen or burnt? She will try and eat food then shake to spit it back out, as if it isn’t going down easily or she can’t swallow it. Ph: 8.3 Ammonia: 0...

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...

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, 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...
