Chromis in QT sunken body?

MBX5 · Feb 22, 2019

Got 5 corms in the QT yesterday and one has two sunken in spots by the tail? Hard to get a good photo of it but you'll get the idea. Not moving around and eating but swimming a little lethargic compared to the others. He's not hiding and staying with the group just not sure if its something I should treat? Thanks

hard to tell under the blues but that almost looks like the start of a Uronema sore. If they are red and look like sores starting under the scales I would say Uronema. Treat with Metro at 2x the dose and metro laced food. If it’s Uronema time is not on your side.

No red at all yet... Just grey colored

I would treat with metro regardless, Uronema is rampant right now in Chromis

It's likely the start of uronema. I would start metro ASAP as recommended above. It's almost inevitable with chromis.

I would food soak + dose the water column.
