My female clownfish is slowly starving, and I don't know what to do. She has always had a wonky looking mouth and jaw, that has never opened and closed like our male clownfish, who has a normal looking mouth. She never used to have issues with eating, however I have noticed recently that her...

Today I noticed something strange on my Foxface Rabbitfish. His behavior is normal and he’s acting fine. There are small-medium spots scattered on his side and they look brownish/beige. They are like nothing I’ve seen before as it doesn’t look like ick or anything else I can think of. It’s only...

I am very new to this, and I've been trying to take it slow and do everything right, but still managing to fail. This is a red sea nano tank, established March 19, 2023. Sorry it's long but I feel it may need a little background. The very first fish Royal Gramma I added to this tank had flukes...

Need help with this. Spot on fox face. He's acting fine I've had ich before and lost a fox face to ich before I took all fish out and treated them for everything under the sun my tank went 85 days without fish so ik not 100 % but I'm pretty sure it's not ich in my system. One thing i was...

My 55 gallon salt water DT has Ich!?! I have lost 3 fish in one week. I am convinced that the only thing that will cure Ich is to treat ALL my fish with copper in a QT. I cannot treat the DT as I have lots of invertebrates that will die from the the copper. I believe I have to starve the...

I added this guy to my tank about 3 days ago. He was out swimming and eating fine but for the past day he has been hiding and heavy breathing. He has not eaten at all or moved. The other fish in the tank seem to be doing fine and are eating well they where all added at the same time to a cycled...

I got a dwarf fuzzy lionfish a couple of days back and for the entirety of the day he's been hanging out in the corner up against the heater just kind of chilling upside down. I know the swimming upside down thing isn't completely abnormal but he hasn't been going around the tank at all like he...

What should I do? These marks just appeared, I tried to take a photo for reference.

My clown fish has been really going after the smaller clown, doing the whole mating dance, shaking a lot. But recently she started breathing really heavy. Wondering if she’s just tired out from all her love moves or if something could be wrong.

I’ve had this guy here for a few weeks. Didn’t see him at all yesterday, saw him today and now he has an incredibly swollen eye. What treatment options do I have for him, and is this contagious?

Got a beautiful white and blue Alveopora a few weeks ago that looked great for the first week and then almost totally retracted into its skeleton for the past 2-3 weeks. It’s not dead, I can barely see a few polyps, but I know it’s in bad shape. Only parameter I really had off was low alk, which...

Hey everyone, My porcupine puffer started getting fussy about eating two weeks ago. It escalated to where they are chewing and then spitting out almost all the food they get. They are now getting too skinny and I don't know what to do. Tank parameters: 125 gallon long 1.0225 salinity 0...

Hi, I just noticed there’s something wrong with our Blue Tang, I don’t know if she got injured or if it’s a disease. She is swimming fine, and we’ve had her over 5yrs. Can anyone please help?

Hi all, recently noticed my clowns are starting to develop a minor white haze. I will post a picture below. Recently when through a small ugly stage otherwise the parameters are been stabile. Any advise would be great on how I should move forward. Thanks

Hello. I am new to the hobby. I have a blue-green chromis that has a white spot up near the dorsal fin. It showed up first this morning. I have had him for about a month. I don’t have a QT and fear I am about to see the consequences of that… he has been swimming around and eating fine. The tank...

My powder blue tang is 3 years old and has been healthy and happy up until a couple weeks ago. He started acting odd and I noticed he had what looked like small white strings coming off of his head. I freshwater dipped him and it seemed to have work for the time being. Fast forward a few more...
