#velvet

Hey everyone... unfortunately we are dealing with velvet. Yup trying to tackle and hoping for survivors. We are following a treatment plan from our very well known LFS. We have a 200gallon aquarium that is built into the wall, so removing it and getting a new tank is not an option. I wanted to...

I’m on about day 8 of copper treatment level of between 2 and 4. I plan on getting a better copper reader but api is all I had on hand right now. I posted when all this started and we all thought it was ich. However 2 days into QT my flame angel unfortunatley didn’t make it. 48 hours later my...

Hello again. Im thinking my flame angel has ich and velvet or one or the other. Im hoping someone can help me identify it. It seems to be the only fish infected so I set a trap… however it’s been a few days and no luck I can’t catch the little bugger. Tearing everything out isn’t an option...

Hello, I had a pair of clownfish and a bi color blenny that died due to velvet 62 days ago. I’m seeing online that velvet usually dies out after 7 weeks. However, I’m a little worried that the counter may have restarted because I have been adding coral and inverts to the tank throughout these 62...

I just got this blenny from a place that supposedly quarantine after catching fish. Are the little spots ich or maybe sand? Its coloration because of stress? The photos arent very good but its the most i can do rn. I dont have a quarantine tank.

Hi all, I am a long-time lurker, I have recently set up my dream reef with a reefer S850 and some nice fishes and corals. Unfortunately, this dream is turning sour, for a few days I am experiencing heavy losses, and at this point, I am still not able to identify the disease. At first, I...

I can keep telling my story for days, but long story short. Devastation happened. Everything was going well for about a month since I added a dozen of fish together in my 300 gallons. Then one day back in Nov 2022 I had to jump on a plane after I got the news my Father passed away. While I was...

Ok im at my wits end with this. My initial stocking of a 17gal reef consisted of two super red ocellaris clowns and a red Firefish goby. As stated in a previous thread, fish displayed signs of velvet on day 2 of qt so started on treatment regimen with chloroquine phosphate at 15mg/ltr for a...

I have a sick dogface puffer! He has ich I think. I treated with weco nox-ich (Malachite Green) after being recommended by a local fish store. Seems it didn't work or only provided temporary relief. Gave him a FW dip two nights ago. Hoping it's ich and not velvet. Would prefer to stay away from...
