ich

so long story short i dont have a QT tank, petco had an amazing deal on a wild caught yellow tang not those AC tangs with faded colors, the problem is the tang was in a tank with 2 other tangs that had signs of ich " white specs on them " the tang i purchased had no signs but most likely has ich...

I want to introduce more fish more quickly into my display tank. Fish #1 starts its 12 day TTM treatment program on day 1. On day 4, that fish moves into the second tank and newly purchased fish #2 joins fish #1 on the second tank. On day 12, the first fish is finished and moves out of the...

So, I'm about done. I've had a couple of tanks now- a Red Sea 130D and now a Red Sea 425XL- in which I've managed to get Ich in the tank. The first couple of times I can look myself square in the eye and know that I didn't do everything I could to make sure my fish were disease free before...

I’m having an issue. So, about 2.5 weeks ago I bought a new fish a small clown tang to put in my 65 gallon reef tank. In it was a tribal blenny, clown fish, blue tang, 3 chromis and fairy wrasse. So the clown tang was doing fine he was eating and swimming but noticed ich pop up tried lowering...

I recently got my Cowfish 2 weeks ago. I put this little guy in my 40 gallon and planning to upgrade my tank soon. Does my Cowfish have ich? What do I do? do I have to quarantine or can I put treatment in my current fish only tank. In tank: 2 clownfish, one cleaning shrimp, 2 firefish, 2...

Does anyone know where I can get a prescription for chloroquine phosphate in or around MD, DE, VA? The link to vets that perscribe it doesn’t work and so far in my own search I have been directed to the National Aquarium... Copper treatment with cupramine has not been kind to my fish, even with...

Should you QT your coral?? Yes, we definitely should. Can ICH cause STN? Sure appears that way. Let the discussion begin! See Article here: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1385110115300095 Video:

Hi All from across the pond, I had a rather severe outbreak of ich/velvet which wiped 80% of my fish, the rest are currently in QT being treated with copper and are all doing really well thankfully. This takes me onto the fallow period, the norm is 72 days as noted by 98% of the reefing...

I have an Exquisite Fairy Wrasse and an Orange-Back Fairy Wrasse that are in quarantine. I recently noticed them scratching their gills on the PVC fittings and yawning. So I did some research and decided to dose PraziPro. I have read that it could be caused by flukes or ich. It makes sense that...

I just found some black spot on my Foxface

I have 5 fish showing signs of illness. Powderbrown, Fox Face and PJ Cardinal - all looked like ICH, so I put them in a QT and started copper. FoxFace looks like he may also have Brook. 2 days later my female clown appears to have Brook. Obviously already exposed to ICH as well. I have...

I wanted to ask your advice or any tips you may have. My reef has had ich. It killed a bunch of fish in just over a month, then I left the tank with a couple of immune fish for 2 months ( As they were impossible to catch). Well, the immune fish still carried ich and the new fish I added caught...

I have a 130 gallon water box with 2 davincii clowns, a melenarus wrasse, a coral beauty and a purple tang. also a TON of corals. this is the first time in years of owning tanks that I've gotten ich. I know the purple tang has ich but can't quite tell about the others. Don't have a quarantine...

Hi Everyone, I need some help planning my new QT and/or TTM method for fish in my tank. First off let me give you the bad new, heart breaking news.... I recently lost almost all of my fish to Velvet as of yesterday (PBT, Regal Angel, Potters Angel, Isosceles Wrasse, 2x Yellow Wrasse, and Royal...

Yes, I am guilty of not following strict qt protocol on my last fish addition, :( which has brought ich into a fully loaded, 150 gallon mixed reef. The big problem is that I depart for a 3 week vacation in 8 days! :eek: Here are some details... Fish List: PJ Cardinal (no signs of ich)...

I woke up this morning and checked on my two tangs in QT. I am dosing Copper Power twice daily so besides just generally enjoying the fish, I needed to give them their 1.2 ml dose of Copper Power. I was surprised to see that both tangs (much more so on the Kole) were covered in white specks...

I was at petco looking for a heater on Friday afternoon, and saw a little bangaii cardinal. I have been looking for bangaii's for a while and decided to purchase him. I looked at him, and he looked healthy and swam fine, but the glass was coated in a little algae, so I got him. They wrapped him...

Hi guys, Due to a sudden ich outbreak, I had to set up a quick QT tank. To jump start the biofilter, I used FritzZyme 9. It's now been 2 weeks since setting up the tank and I've noticed the fish are looking a bit stressed and breathing rapidly. Here's a list of livestock: (1) Two Spot...

I bought this copperband butterfly from Liveaquaria. It came with a white big spot in its back fin and one side fin. After one day he is showing more but they look a bit different that ich. They are bigger. Do you have any idea what can it be and what should I use? I have to say he is eating...

Hello, I have a 2 month old 120 gallon tank where I had 2 cardinals, 2 tangs, 2 clowns die this past weekend. I assume it was ich, though only one clown had one spot last week and all the fish seemed healthy until the day they died. They were all eating and didn't show any signs of distress...
