Ich?

[DracoKat]

i had a pair of flame wrasses in QT for a week- then I noticed these three spots on the dorsal fin of one of them.

Is it ich? Seems pretty big and few for ich. The other has one on her tail

Both are eating well

I am now treating with cupramine and prazipro. Did a water change 2 days ago

Looks more like Lympho than Ich to me but will be curious to see what the others say.

looking at the pictorial sticky of diseases, it does look like lympo. if it is, then just constant clean water?

Good stable parameters and low stress should clear it up. If you start seeing spots on places other than the edges of fins I would get much more worried.

Thanks I've seen a spot or two on my other fish in DT, but they usually clear up quickly. I just want to make sure these are OK before I put into DT in a few weeks or so.

This, people, is why we QT, keep an eye out for any diseases and such

FYI, not ideal to mix Prazi and Cu if I have interpreted reef squad guidance correctly.

Agree with Lympho diagnosis

+1 on reason for QT! [emoji846]

thanks for the confirmation.

I had to move the tank (Company is coming today), so I did a hefty water change again while I was at it. Hopefully it'll clear up and won't come back
