Help! Fox face sick

[lucas-grimm]

I really don’t think it’s ich. Foxfaces develop a protein in their slime coat which makes them resistant to ich: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1050464810000197

You already treated for velvet and ich with the copper. It’s unlikely for them to get this rampant after that treatment.

I personally think he’s having a viral/bacterial infection. And you said you treated with prazipro a few times? That should take care of any eye flukes as well.


This is definitely one of the most weirdest cases I’ve seen. Definitely take my advice with a grain of salt because I’ve personally never experienced this type of issue on any of my fish, nor have I seen this type of case on the forums.

this seems to be my issue with no being able to diagnose it. super frustrating but i can’t think of anything else to do. i did 2 separate treatments of prazi (2 doses a few days apart) for black ich. treated with copper and then hydrogen peroxide baths before going into ttm. not sure what else i can do here but thanks

i did the 2nd hydrogen peroxide bath and transferred the melanarus and diamond goby today. unfortunately foxface did not make it and the white spots were still present.
