ich

Hi guys, My new cade 1200 is nearly up and running. Relatively new to the hobby, started up a waterbox 20 last year, about 2 months ago introduced a new clown that i suspect had ich, with my royal gramma and firefish and other clown brushing up against rocks and a few spots (3-4). Don’t want to...

My blue tang got ich and initially he was laying down all the time but after 2 days with cupramine he's swimming around and eating like a pig. The only problem is he's still scratching his body. My current copper level is at 0.5mg/L - 0.6mg/L. I test for copper everyday with Seachem Copper...

TLDR-is this ich? How screwed am I? Logistical nightmares ahead So the dreaded day has come.. I’m pretty sure this is Ich (tried to get a natural light photo during daylight. Pardon the blues in the video, that was taken this evening during low blue moonlight) Some context, so I have a heavily...

Is the recommended dosage for Cupramine is sufficient or too much for the fish. I'm following the guidelines given to me by Seachem Cupramine. Tested at 0.5mg/L I bought a blue eye kole tang and placed it in my quarantine tank (with 1 clownfish and a blue tang for 5 days) Everything was fine...

Hi all, this is my first post here after setting up my first saltwater tank. Just put these two into my tank on Sunday. They are the first fish in the tank after a month of cycling. I did notice the larger of the two has these white looking dots. I’m not sure if that is just coloration or...

When I was feeding my clowns in my DT I had noticed some white spots or bumps on one of them. After a bit of research, it appears to be ich. I did manage to get a brand new 10g to QT both clowns have a sponge and hob filter (only added sponge in media basket) running for extra aeration. Temps...

Hey everyone, Just went 90 days fallow after having velvet. After the 90 days was up I put my Achilles tang in an acclimation box for a few days was all good - has been in tank for 3 weeks no issues. Added a blue hippo, purple and yellow 2 days ago all after 40 days of copper power 2.40+...

I have powder brown tang that developed what it appears is under surface bumps throughout his body. See pics. Eating: He was never an aggressive eater, he kind of waits and gets the smaller pieces that fall down. He never goes straight for the Nori, but rather gets pieces out of the water...

Suspected area near spot. Should I take out coral and inverts and dose whole tank to avoid outbreak? Or are there any other medications that work and are safe with coral and inverts?

Roughly 3 weeks ago I got this purple tang and I admit that I did give the fish ich by not thinking through placing a hang-on-back filter that I had running on a coral QT onto this tank. As soon as I noticed the ich, I raised my copper level in the tank to 2.30ppm using copper power and within a...

Hello everyone, I am currently facing a dilemma on what to do with my tank as treatment action. About a month or more ich or ich alike disease appeared on my tank and took out some of the fish. I bought a quarantine tank and placed the fish that seem to be sick on copper for a month aprox...

Hello, so I recently got my box spine puffer fish and I noticed some small white dots on my fish. Barely starting and just on his fins. I have screenshots of a video that I took so you guys can see it

In all my years in the aquarium world, I've never struggled with fish disease like I am right now. I'm in unfamiliar territory right now. My display tank has what I believe is a bad case of Ich. It's been coming and going over weeks. I thought it was reducing but came back with a vengeance...

Hello everyone my fish have all been in QT with copper power 2.35-2.50 ppm and nitrofurazone for the last 31 days. Since I had an ich on my purple tang so took everyone out. Currently in the process of setting up a new 125 gallon for everyone. I’m pretty sure copper never dropped below...

Hi all, I'm new to saltwater fish keeping. I've noticed my Royal Gramma has some white spots on him. You can see them on the tail in the picture but he also has some on his head too. If it is Ich, what treatments can I do? A QT tank isn't an option as I don't have the space for it or the...

This little guy has had some lighter patches of funk on his skin for a few days which you can still see, but today I am noticing this much more pronounced white spot. I'm guessing this is Ich based on what I have seen online but I am fairly new so I'm not sure. Any diagnostic input from more...

Hey all! I recently noticed my anthias and white tail bristletooth tang have a bunch of white spots or almost like a white film on them. Im not sure how this even happened as I have purchased all of my fish from TSM Aquatics (quarantined) and have not introduced a new fish in over 6 months. I...

Hello, last week I purchased a blue tang and at the time of purchase, there was nothing wrong with it. Today, I noticed that it appears to have white spots on its body. However, I'm not entirely certain. When viewed from a specific angle, it seems like there are spots, but from another angle, it...

Does my hippo tang have ICH? Thinking of doing a dip, any recommendations?

I feel like I should get an air stone... Since water change should and will be made in my future QT Setup... Pros/Cons to either one ?

Hello! One month ago I noticed some white spots on my Coral Beauty. It appeared to be Ich. As they were large and fell off after a period of time. After transferring him to a QT tank and copper treatment I see no positive changes. He’s getting worse. The dots are now smaller — Labored...

Hello I had an ich outbreak a few months back tank when fallow for 72 days all fish were treated with copper. Now all the fish are back in the DT got 3 new fish one of which was my purple tang he was treated with copper along with the 3 other BUT seems like my purple tang has spots. He’s eating...

I have a 75 gallon setup that I bought used. So far the only inhabitants are a fox face, a damsel and two clowns, with a few snails. Had a butterfly fish at one point that introduced ick to the tank. I have since set up a small quarantine tank and managed to get the clowns under control however...

Came across a study on using shrimp to eat parasites in the fish farming industry. Excerpt on findings The effectiveness of shrimp in reducing parasites on farmed fish remained unexplored until now. We tested four cleaner shrimp species for their ability to reduce three harmful parasites (a...

Afternoon all, So I'm relatively new to this but have had a fluval evo for 6 months with no issues what so ever, so far. I've just set up a water box 60.2 and currently have a Royal Gramma and Purple Fire Fish, noticed on Tuesday that the Gramma was not coming out as usual with the Fire Fish...
