goby ich?

[MrBink]

Does my goby appear to be okay? I’m worried about ich or black ich.

He was in a tank with clownfish that I believe had either brook,velvet, or ich but I believe it was ich.

Hello, welcome to Reef2Reef!

I can't quite see clearly enough to tell if that is ich or not. Do you see any of those spots on the fish's fins, or just the body? If the spots are on the fins and the body, then it could be ich. If the spots are just on the body, it is more likely flukes.

How long have you had the fish?

Thank you for the knowledge. I apologize for not responding quickly. The goby appears to be doing alright and no signs so far.

Should I quarantine all fish that were exposed to the clownfish?

Only if they start to show signs of active disease, since we never really confirmed that this was ich.

Alright, thank you. How long should I strictly monitor them?

The longer, the better. I like to wait 2 to 4 weeks of no symptoms before considering them recovered.
