infection

Has anyone ever seen a fish (black ocellaris) stuck at the top of the water column upside down? No signs of distress or visible disease. Not breathing heavy. Just upside down. I tried turning him right-side up and putting him down further in the aquarium, but he very quickly ends up upside down...

I bought a filefish a week ago and since yesterday it randomly swims sideways and will spin in a circle. Any suggestions on what i can do to help it?

Found this on my clown over the weekend. She doesn't seem to be acting weird and is eating normal, feisty as ever. No one else in the tank has anything that looks like it and everyone is very healthy. Could it be a pinch mark from an emerald crab? I know it's not ich or the lymphblahblah...

Continued from my post in New to the hobby....... Everyone was transferred Wednesday night. Yesterday the flame angel had a huge breakout of spots and the Scott's still had a few spots, but everyone was doing well. So I started to add Cupramine. I added 2/3 of the dose around 3 o'clock. Tested...

Hey all. Purchased a rather amazing piece of wall style E. Divisa (Frogspawn coral) last week and since then it's become infected with brown jelly - possibly due to transport though I was quite careful. Purchased the coral on Saturday 4/11 and the first notice of brown jelly was Monday 4/13 -...

My flame angel has several white spots on face and noticed one on back closer to head. Is it ich or something else? Need to be able to treat quickly if possible so I don't want to order something online. Please let me know what would be a good medication for it that I can get locally. Thanks

This morning one of my clowns was swimming erratically (he seems to have calmed down in the last few minutes since netting him and taking these pics, and is back hanging out with the other clown in a cave - this is their dark cycle; I have my lights on a reverse light cycle, fyi). I flicked on...

Fish is acting normal and eating fine but has these white patches. Kinda looks like his skin is falling off. Water is good Anyone know what it is and how to treat. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

this is my first anthia experience. I picked up 3 large square backs. 1 male, 2 females. I noted some crypto spots so they have begun a 3 week Qt with cupramine and prazipro. Scheduled to go through 2 weeks of paraguard after that. My question is as follows, Normally its known that fish may...

My newest addition to the tank has popeye, it is a redfin butterfly, it is only one eye, at first I thought his eye was missing. My purple tang has been harassing him since he has been in there, I feel bad for the poor guy, anything I can do to help him? I read its best not remove him as it...

I recently had to do some re-arranging in my DT. I was handling a piece or LR mostly covered with some green polyps. As I was relocating it, I felt discomfort on my thumb starting to happen. Almost like a bee sting. I washed my hand thoroughly after temporarily placing the culprit poly/LR down...

I am in the process of taking things out of my 90 gallon to prepare for the 165. These fish I don't think I want in there, just not where I want to go with the new tank. The elegant leopard wrasse has been in the tank about a month. First night he came in and ate frozen mysis shrimp, still...

For some reason my fish got some white spot on them. It look like ick to me. I have ten fish in a 200 gallons tank in the basement. Couple of the fish do not have white spots on them. If it was ick, what I have to do now? Please help I don't wanted them to die on me. Thanks for yours time and help.

I have recently gotten into saltwater after being into freshwater for a long while now. Ive got a 60 gallon tank with a 15 gallon refugium, skimmer, and uv sterilizer. The live rock I came across had a mojano infestation, so after the tank cycled the first fish was a raccoon butterfly fish to...

I am currently battling the worst case of ich that I have had since reefing and am at my wits end. I have had a tang here or there have it and just fed a little garlic and thats it.. I have a newly set up 150 and possibly too many tangs. My ph has been low as I just really recently started...

Mycobacterium Marinum Infections From Aquariums May Be Under-Diagnosed

hey everyone so i got back from a few days away to find my green trumpets looking a bit under the weather. A few of the heads seem to be a bit shriveled up, there's some brown gunk around the heads and i'm seeing what looks like small little "twigs" poking out all over them. I've head this frag...

My 5" Blue Hippo tang just jumped out. He avoided the canopy and made it through the small opening in the back. After a 4' fall, he hit the ground and was out of water for about 1 minute before I could scoop him up and get him back in. He is in hiding now. Any suggestions on how I can...

Ok, as the title said, my achilles tang lip has swallowed and he's having difficulties eating. Do you guys have any idea what this is, and how to treat it? Thanks in advance Johnny

So back in march i had my 1st encounter with ich in 8 years, maybe 10 i have no clue when i started reefing. I put my yasha back in the tank mid april or so and then got 2 clowns quarantined them for 15 days, put them in, nothing, so then i bought a spotted mandarin(Bought him early may) that i...
