Fish with scabs help !

SaltwaterTanks · Sep 10, 2018

I have had a pair of 3 blue green chromosome and recently I have noticed scabs on them not any of my other fish just them. They have scabs on there scales as if they were missing scales and one of them has a scab on their head. Please help !

That looks like an infection. How long has it been like that? Over what timeline did you first observe it to where it is today?

How long have you had the fish?

Being chromis are involved, probably uronema: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/uronema-marinum.247940/

Hi thanks for responding. I noticed it maybe about 2 weeks ago but it wasn’t as bad. Is there anything to treat it ?

I wondered about that, but haven’t seen it presented that way on the head before. It’s certainly a common issue with chromis though!

Kanaplex + Metroplex would cover the OP either way. With Furan-2 thrown in for good measure.

How should Treat this I’m not sure if it’s fighting wounds or a disease?
