Chromis - Red spots

[bionic]

Need some help in identifying and treating some Chromis I’ve had in quarantine since 19/05/2019

I suspect it’s Uronema but not 100% since the spots are quite small. They never get any bigger than in pictures.

Some are also exhibiting small white round slightly raised bumps.

Treated with copper and did a round of prazipro (our equivalent since we can’t get in oz). Can’t get my hands on metroplex or focus here.

They are also In hypo salinity.

Still eating and swimming activity.

Do I risk putting them in display tank it if they make it through quarantine?

Thanks in advance.

If it is Uronema how quickly does it kill ?

I’m not a lot of help on this unfortunately, however, it does look like Uronema to me. Chromis seem to be known for having it recently.

How many chromis? Looks like bite wounds from fighting

There were five, down to four. They do fight but the one in the picture is the bully.

Unfortunately they'll continue to fight until you're down to one

Looks like uronema.

IMO - if it was uronema we would not discuss a living fish today. +1 to @Crabs McJones . Even a fish that bully could get a bite and a fish the bully is stressed - must defend its own space.

Isn't that how uronema starts before it progresses?

Tjat doesnt look like uronema to me at all.. it looks like what my chromis looked like when they had lymphocystis.

If it was uronema the fish woukd be dead in 24 to 48 hrs TOPS at the sign of red marks

Possible, will just have to wait it out if it is.

The post was dated to yesterday - I assumed it have been there for a while. Therefore - no uronema because is a fast disease. (my bold)

Update on these guys. They are still alive but three out of four have these spots that are white are slightly raised on them. They flatten and turn pink after a while. They are in copper right now.

Is it ich ?

3 out of 4 aren’t eating due to copper I’m thinking, the copper seems to have helped the spots a bit. Instructions say leave it for 14 days but if they don’t eat then that doesn’t help.

Just did a water change will treat with copper again. Is it still affective if you have breaks in between?

Is it safe to take the healthy guy out and put in DT ?

Hard to see the white things from photo.

I would not move anything to the DT until you are sure it is not carrying anything.

Definitely not uronema with this time frame.
