ich outbreak

Hi all, It’s been a few weeks now since introducing my copperband into the display and it’s eating well on live black worms, clams and muscles. It has a strong appetite and it seems like I picked up a good one.. until last night I observed Ich on the fins/tail. It’s almost impossible to...

We had a mass ich killin breakout, which ended up killing all our fish. We treated it with the hyper safe copper and also did a API general cure treatment. We bought a uv light and put it in the tank and were about to do a 50% water change and then we’re going to treat it with Ich X. Am i...

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+...

My fish have been in copper quarantine protocol for the past 19 days at a ppm of 2.03-2.1. I moved them to quarantine due to ich outbreak in the DT. When I moved them over the only one showing symptoms was my blue hippo tang. A day after starting treatment all signs of ich were gone. On day 19...

Hey everyone so I have a 91 gallon Red Sea reefer 350 g2+. Fish about a week ago seemed to break out with what I think is ich. I ruled out velvet because based on what I’m reading all the fish would be dead by now. I have one purple tang, 1 baby one spot foxface, 1 baby copperband, 2 clowns, and...

Just got ich/velvet so planning 90 day fallow. I'm fine with QT fishes and inverts but think I can't be patient enough for qt for coral frag swaps. Hydrogen peroxide has been used as coral dips for algae so I am wondering anyone used it to bypass frag quarantine assuming the chemically violent...

Hey ya’ll! I have a large volitan lionfish that’s been acting lathargic and not eating. Then I noticed a heniocus butterfly going to town on his fins. Then noticed some ich spots on the lion. I did a cupramine dose to help with the ich but I think he may be having some gastro issues. I’m seeing...

Does anyone have suggestions for treating ich in my mixed reef tank? My tomini tang appears to have a good bit of white spots on his body. My clown has been acting really weird, breathing heavy, frayed fins. (I did a paragard dip today) My yellow wrasse is flashing against the Rocks. The...

realized this morning my puffer is starting to get white spots on his fins. Put him in a QT tank and currently dosed kick ich and rally pro. Has anyone has good luck with this? Should I not waste my time and go straight to copper? I’ve heard mixed reviews and I really don’t want to lose my fish...

Suddenly couple fish died couple days ago (longnose butterfly, powder blue tang, puffer) and today some fish don't look good. I haven't add new fish for a while and all new fish always quarantine at least two weeks. Is this ich or something else? Tested for ammonia (0), ph kinda low but manage...

Hi all, I’m so depressed that this is my first post. I’ve been reading these forums since starting my tank up in June of last year and it’s been super helpful. Hoping to get some advice as there’s a lot of approaches I’ve seen for ich management and treatment. I had a red Firefish goby that...

Hello! I posted about this fish a while back, he has gone through some weird stuff. I have had him for roughly 6-8 months now, first four or so he had this weird looking bacterial infection on left side. I have another thread about that. He was first fish in tank. He would occasionally get an...

I noticed today that my clownfish have white bumps on their skin. Both clowns are the size of a quarter and less than a year old. I dont think it is velvet as the bumps are too big and not as numerous. I have shrimp and invers in my tank. 1: I have a 29 gallon display with HOB filters (floss...

Hello! I have been treating my tank for ich for approximately 3-4 weeks. I’ve done my 20% water changes, vacuumed my sand, and cleaned out my filter media once it appears the ich is gone. However, every time I do this, the ich reappears on my fish the next day. Can you give me an idea of what...

Hi all Added a longhorn and box fish 4 days ago and now seem covered in ich. I have regal and powder brown tang which do fine and don't have spots but it must be in the water. I have reef set up so will struggle with copper treatment. All water stats in the green is it just because they have...

Help! Found some white spots on my blue tang after giving her a fresh water dip to treat something unrelated, however while paying extra attention to her the last two days since the dip as she had a burn I noticed some spots today. On closer inspection I saw some on my royal gramma who is the...

My porcupine puffer and red tooth trigger have come down with ich. They axiomatic well and all seemed good, but sure enough they have spots today. I don’t have a QT big enough for the both of them, or an empty one at that. Obviously it’s in my DT, so I’m looking to treat in the most effective...

Hi Experts, Have a question... i have a hippo blue tang and it keeps getting white spots on a monthly cycle. And it will recover after a few days where it will be spotless. During these period, it still looks normal and eating well. During the last event - a few days ago - the small white...
