Is this ich?

Is this ich if so how should i treat it?

 

[ngoodermuth]

Is there spots or a dusty-film on it? It's hard to tell from the photo

 

[Aidanwolf]

Its hard to tell because it is a clown goby and he hides.

 

[Aidanwolf]

Heres another pic.

I dont know about the ick. But i have the same clown goby and he has become my favorite fish. Definitely lots of personality

 

[Aidanwolf]

Yeah i like him too but his fins are messed up and i think there are a few white spots.

 

[ngoodermuth]

Yes, looks like ich to me

Okay thanks

 

[Aidanwolf]

I have one more questions, if it is only on one fish do i have to move all of the fish to a quarantine tank?

 

[ngoodermuth]

Unfortunately yes, and the display would need to be left fish-less for a fallow period of 76 days.

 

[ngoodermuth]

How is he acting? Any heavy breathing, flashing against rocks or glass, swimming into flow, etc

 

[Aidanwolf]

He is just siting in the corner I got him from the pet store yesterday. None of my other fish have symptoms.

 

[Aidanwolf]

I cant tell if he is breathing heavily

They might not have symptoms...but if he has it, the rest of the tank will too. Can you set up a QT? Doesn't have to be fancy, a 10 or 20g with a heater and powerhead, thermometer, and ammonia badge. Hob filter is helpful too.

I have 4 clown fish a the clown goby would they survive in a 10 gallon aquarium?

 

[Aidanwolf]

And how about invertebrates

Maybe, but I would go for a 20g if you can, and keep an eye on ammonia.

They can stay in the display, just no fish for 76 days.

 

[Aidanwolf]

Okay but i cant treat them because i have coral and invertebrates.
