We QT them for a week before putting them into the 55 gallon. Mind you we dont intentionally buy fish that look infected, I carefully examine each fish before I purchase them. So even if they look healthy I still QT them to be on the safe side. We get our fish from one of two stores, one of...
I understand that Ich is a parasite, what I am trying to figure out is if ich is the problem here. When we buy our fish they have no spots on them what so ever. We drip acclimate them and put them into a QT tank just to be on the safe side. We bought a potters Angel and when we placed her...
We have a 55 gallon set up with a compact light running 4 - 55 watt bulbs, two power heads, a Berlin Skimmer, and a UV Sterilizer. For fish we have 2 Marroon Clowns, one Saddle Back clown, a Royal Gramma, and three Damsels.
I am having a hard time keeping some fish. When I bring them home they have no ich at all, no spots, nothing! Two days later my fish is completely covered with white spots and is gone. I've tested the water and the water is perfect, I've had this tank up and running for over a year now. I...

My hippo tang has a few white spots all over its body that keeps coming back. My husband placed it in a hospital tank with Copper for a week or so and did a couple of fresh water dips. When it was spot free for a few days he placed her back with the other fish who are not afffected at all and...
Is He New To Your Tank? It Could Be That He Is Stressed. It Could Be A Number Of Things. I'm Fairly New At Anemones And Corals But Mine Wilted When It Ate Or Was Resting. Keep An Eye On It For The Next Couple Of Days. If It Gets Worse Try To Move It Alittle And If You See That It Has...
