...the tank like normal and ulitamly buried in the sand. This afternoon when get back from work its eyes are like this and its not swimming but breathing normally. No aggression from other fish. I know that these fish are very finicky when it comes to shipping #fishmedic Levels are as follows.

#fishmedic -- I really don't know if this qualifies as the proper place for this question, as I do not see physical signs of disease (spots, patches etc). It's more of a behavioral question, however after a couple of experiences with parasites I am prone to alarm when I notice unusual behavior...

...and when he came out his side looks like this now!!!! (I have been dealing with high Nitrate levels and been doing consistent water changes for about a week now to lower these levels.) (3 other fish in tank are thriving and eating with no problem) #fis#fishmedicTACH type="full"]3817059[/ATTACH]

What other fish are in tank? Looks like an injury and possible bacterial infection is setting in on his abdomen area Seperate tank with Kanaplex is my thoughts will tag medic for more knowledgeable peeps than I #fishmedic

That appears to be ich. If spots start few and increase over 24 hours its ich. Velvet is usually too many to count #fishmedic

#fishmedic Can you get a closer video under white lighting with the breathing? Is the fish discolored at all on its skin? To me shaking like that is irritation from something. such as flukes or something

#fishmedic @Jay Hemdal @vetteguy53081

All of them breathing fast with few other symptoms has me concerned it may be velvet, but let's see what the #fishmedic crew thinks. If you have airstones, now may be good to time to use them to keep oxygenating the water without the risks of the wave makers.

#fishmedic any insights? It’s far easier to move corals (I only have a few frags and colonies) than to catch 30+ fish. If I treat the whole tank, when can I keep corals again? I can run Cuprisorb & carbon for months. Doable? Should I treat the whole tank or take fish out?

...your videos differently, so we can see what we are looking at. You can link it/post the video to YouTube. Does anyone know other ways besides that? In addition, basic information like temperature, tank mates, size, salinity, and more can help us figure out what he going on. Thank you...

It seems that as I was typing here he spit out the last part, thankfully, is there any treatment I could give him since I tried to pull it out gently and it might have hurt his esophagus #fishmedic

Hi. Could you please send some more photos, and some other info about the tank. Other tank mates, are you medicating with anything, and other basic information is helpful. Thank you! #fishmedic

#fishmedic or #reefsqaud

#fishmedic This looks like either a bacterial infection to me or flukes causing discoloration But the medics will be able to help more

This seems like something for the #fishmedic team to look at - I agree that we need more info for this, and the fin damage is likely aggression.

...the "Aquarium Parameters," "Water quality," and "In-depth Information" sections) to figure out what info you can share here with the #fishmedic to get the best diagnosis and treatment advice possible...

Pics and video (important to check breathing rate) under white light? #fishmedic

Additionally if I may ask, but my DT is blooming and just want to make sure it’s diatom and I don’t need to do anything in it as I’m still doing 2 more round of prazi #fishm#fishmedic

Lets see what the #fishmedic have to say about it. They usually have good insight.

Could be ich. #fishmedic @Jay Hemdal

Good morning #fishmedic @Jay Hemdal I have read your 2023 QT process and are using this to QT my first fish. I just got a very very small Yellow Belly Blue Tang and acclimated him to my QT after matching temp and salinity. Gravity was 1.022 in bag and I set tank to 1.023 Ph 8.3 I just spent...
