The fish medics are going to need video and at least pictures. And much more info to help ya bud.

 

[reefinginBD]

Sorry I thought I attached the videos

 

[reefinginBD]

I’m not being able to attach them for some reason if you give me your Facebook or WhatsApp I can send it

 

[ryanjohn1]

When they do them it’s usually a YouTube

 

[reefinginBD]

Ohk I didn’t know that sorry

 

[reefinginBD]

Let me know if you can see them (ignore the background sound)

I did the video and then turned the red light on

Ohk I didn’t know that sorry

This is a hard video (s) to work with as fish is hidden in both and hard to see fish clearly. In first video, there appears to be blemishes which suggest bacterial issue but unconfirmed. Also need brighter light and at least 35 seconds of play time on video

Is the tank pretty new?

How long have you had the fish?

If you want I can send a little more clear video after a bit with the glass cleaned and white lights

Is the tank pretty new?

Tank is about 5 months old if I include the time taken to cycle it and the time I had only mollies in there or else it’s 4 months old

 

[reefinginBD]

How long have you had the fish?

This fish has been in the tank for over 2 months and when I got the fish it was already in their for a month or so

It will help them better with white lights. Get it when you can. Has it been eating and acting normally and then acting ill. Have you added any new livestock or started using a new chemical or food?

Even though your numbers are ok, I would still do a water change and run carbon as you try to diagnose the problem. Never know what might have gotten into the water.

Yeah I’ll do that asap

Yes he has been eating fine for the last 2 months and no I haven’t added any livestock in the last 2 months either neither did I change the food or add any chemicals.

Running Carbon already it’s been a month so I’ll switch it out and I’ll do a water change then

What you feeding? How regularly? It looks skinny. I have a 3.5" onespot that is super thick compared to yours.

 

[reefinginBD]

I’m feeding tdo chroma boost and the three ocean nutrition pellets also feeding nori a few times a week but he doesn’t take much interest in that usually the blue tang has it all

 

[reefermadnes5]

My guy eats all day bro. No joke. Give yours snacks. Macro. Seaweed/sushi wraps. Lots of grazing stuff will make them happy.
