sickness

Hello everyone! I did a bit of research on fin diseases and parasites before I dipped my Midus Blenny, in FW for 5 minutes to try and fix whatever is on his fin. It definitely looks like some parasite to me, but he appears completely healthy, after just getting him two days ago from my LFS. I...

Hey guys, Ive had this orange shoulder tang for a month or so now and about 2 weeks ago my other tang bullied him and he hid a lot. He wasn't eating and had damage to his tail. He's slowly been coming out again and being more active, but I noticed that he now has these weird marking on him and...

So I am in need of help. About 3 weeks ago I lost a fairy wrasse in qt to what I thought was a bacterial infection so I started treating the rest of the fish in the quarantine tank. One of those being this leopard wrasse. Now almost three weeks later of medicating the tank I am almost certain I...

I’ve had a 120 gallon saltwater Aquarium for about 8 years. At the start of last weekend certain corals including a large number of green mushrooms and 2 frogspawn corals shriveled up and have not opened since. Other corals seem fine, including a different type of mushroom. No variable have...

Hello everyone! I need some help. My chocolate chip sea star’s horns started changing color yesterday. It’s still moving around and eating just fine but I’m worried that this could be an early sign of illness or stress. It’s currently happening on two of its horns but I’m not sure if it will...

So I just bought my fishies some brine shrimp from the LFS and I noticed the smaller clown has something dangling from it. Looks like a huge turd, but it’s brown and pretty long. I’m not exactly worried about it, since there’s been nothing new introduced to the tank in months. The peppermint...

Hello. I've had lots of freshwater fish in the past and a few weeks ago I decided to get into a FOWLR tank. I took one of my old 15-gallon tanks and installed a surface skimmer, powerhead, heater, and aqua clear 30. I added 15 pounds of dry rock and crushed coral (each 15 pounds). I used RODI...

My royal gramma and blenny were completely fine yesterday. Today, my blenny has a yellow fins but other than that looks fine, hasn't eaten, and is very weak and lethargic, and my royal gramma is acting normal (eating, swimming, playing with clownfish) but looks fuzzy, has inflamed gills, a...

I’m relatively new to marine aquarium keeping I’ve had freshwater in my household my entire life growing up but this is my first salt tank and my first to keep by myself. I had been given an “established” tank from my neighbor who had to move and couldn’t keep the tank. After doing weeks and...

So I bought my purple tang from a person selling their whole saltwater setup. After the relocation, I put my purple tang in quarantine. He started to develop ich so I dosed the tank with cupormine. He has been in quarantine for 4 weeks now and I noticed him not looking so hot. He is twitching...

I have a small ( about 1.5" or so) longhorn cowfish. When I came downstairs to feed him, he was stuck to the overflow and couldn't get off. I removed him, but he kept swimming up to it and getting stuck. None of my other fish (except my mandarinfish who can get off) do this. I also observed my...
