Please help with my regal

[sc50964]

I was also thinking about lympho, although the spots on his tail make me doubtful, they may be too big for cryptocarion, however his fish looks healthy and probably not a big concern.

Don’t lympho also show up on tail?

clean ur glass bro lol

Yeah best I could do in a hurry since they didnt give me time to set it up properly!!! Didnt want to stress her more messing with it. I hate this point of sale tank anyways. My two display tanks have crystal clean glass haha

I would post this in the Fish Disease forum so those guys can help you. You’re going to get a lot of expertise there from Jay and Vettguy.

Yep I know those two are awesome!

Looks like Lymphocystis. Pretty common for new angels and usually nothing to be worried about.

Lymphocystis

Lymphocystis What You Need To Know: * This is a virus that many fish carry for life. The white nodules (cauliflower-like growths) can grow both externally and internally; so symptoms are not always visible. * There is no known cure for Lympho. However, feeding vitamin-enriched foods and...

I don't see how you can tell if those spots are from the glass or on the fish.

It does look like one, but the dots on the tail are even smaller, although they are unlikely to be from ich.

Shes got 3 dots on her tail and one on her top fin. Does look like the pictures in that link @Slocke posted. Ill tag @vetteguy53081 @Jay Hemdal @MnFish1 to see of they know. I assumed ich, but I always treat my fish in QT for ich and velvet. She has a good appetite too

Okay everyone here she is!! Pretty sure shes got some ich going on from stress, so Im treating her for that. She loves clams and is eating the frozen food Im giving her very well! Shes a beautiful orange belly. Im going to name her Annabelle after the first regal I didnt have time with due to my crash. Excuse the tank, since I didnt have time to fully clean and re do it for her with the early delivery its not pretty and I dont want to go doing stuff and stress her out either.

Classic case of lympho which affects butterflies and large angels most common. Lymphocystis is a condition and not disease. Often its associated with water quality issue as simple as elevated ammonia or nitrate and can be that of water from LFS and not yours. Assure to provide Good water quality monitored by a reliable test kit and feed nutritious food with fats such as LRS fish frenzy, small plankton and mysis shrimp.

Glad it is eating well for you. The spots I can see look too large to be ich, and are pretty classic Lymphocystis. However, there could easily be ich trophonts in the mix, so keep an eye out for small spots that come and go….lymphocystis will stay in the same spot for weeks.

Will do thank you! I feed her a clam on the half shell daily for her to pick at and two times a day with frozen hikiri sponge food, algae, mysis, reef frenzy and blood worms. Currently out of plankton, I have ordered some but I give her some brine shrimp as a sub until that comes!

Update on Annabelle! Shes doing so good and is in the DT! Shes a super active angel and always out and about! Hangs out with Flo (my PBT) all the time!

Did her QT get cut short as well?

How’s the tusk doing?

Nice ending…..

Yes I had to, having a mechanical issue with my 32 biocube that I use for QT. Cant figure out whats up with it but the water circulation is horrible and I dont have an extra wave maker/pump that would fit in the tank, so it was better for her to just go into the DT when that broke. She is loving it and has been in there for a while now. In fact shes getting fatter by the day!

The tusk has normal breathing now but still is cowering in a cave. Eats some food that comes towards him so I try to spot feed him but the baster freaks him out still. I just think he is very traumatized from Flo in my other tank and freaks out when he sees another fish. None have bullied him, my mel wrasse in that tank actually has taken to swimming around his cave, almost like he is standing guard! Im hopeful for him as he gets more comfortable. Noticed the tail strike wound looks way better too. Unfortunately Nala scares the s—- out of him cause shes a very curious lionfish and wants to see him but he doesnt want any other fish close to him

Petco has a sale on tanks today. Good for QT

Dang missed out on a lot of labor day sales cause my job is dumb and pays me on the 7th (angry face)!! I see really cool biocube and I wanted one then was like what the heck this is kind of a piece of S

 

[littlefoxx]

Nice ending…..

Thank you! I was checking on her all night and stuff. Those spots that others said was lymp-something that is common with angels went away within 5 minutes of being acclimated to the DT. Shes for sure my center piece fish with her colors and activity!

Shes also a goofy fish, loves to swim sideways when shes picking stuff off the rocks, its really odd. Then when she picks whatever she saw she goes back to swimming like a normal fish like nothing happened lol

 

[littlefoxx]

Im just very attached to her and I love her! As I do with all my fish!
