White spots

[Buzzard]

Can anybody tell me what the white spots are on my clown

, thanks

The one on the fin and body

It could be lymphocystis. This fish looks in rough shape. Is he being harassed, or is he ill?

 

[Buzzard]

No, he's eating well and in good shape, somebody told me it could be flukes, I'm not sure.

I see something that looks like ammonia damage. What are your latest water parameters?

 

[Buzzard]

Their is 0 ammonia. I tested it two days go. If your looking at that white in the reef that is the camera. He has two white flakes, one on his fin and where the fin touches the body.

Take a look at these pics lymphocystis:

Well I thank you for the pictures, but I 'm not sure what to do, their are 2 white flakes on him............I'm lost.

The idea is to first try to ID what you have. I suggested lymphocystis, which those pics were examples of. If you can confirm that those pictures look like that, then we can diagnose and treat. Or, maybe you can give us a clearer picture?

 

[Buzzard]

Ok, this morning I'm going to a pet shop that sells saltwater fish, I will try and get better pictures this morning. You have been a great help and I'm sure we will figure it out.

Good morning again, see if this picture is better, the white flake on his fin.

Pic isn't really good enough to see details, but, I believe it is lymphocystis. The info posted in this article should get you started in addressing the issue.

Hi, it says fresh garlic, how do I do that, thanks for your help.

 

[lmforbis]

Squeeze the juice out of a garlic clove.

 

[Buzzard]

WOW, OK

 

[beth]

You smash the garlic. I'd recommend using a glass plate. Once you have some juice, soak up some meaty food in the mix, and then quickly feed the fish. You want to be quick to use the garlic juice since fresh garlic has a natural antibiotic which may be beneficial in this situation. You can also use either zoecon or selcon supplements which is good for lympo.
