    Skunk Clown Fish disease???

    I received this message from a "specialist at a large aquarium" after looking at the images below. My questions are how do you debride a fish? I’m still not sure how I would handle this one. It does not look like lymphocystis. It doesn’t really look like copepods either. Generally any tumor...

    Green Bubble Algae / Live Rock / Aipstasia

    This is an old tank. Probably 5 -6 years. I tried a new store and they infected my tank really bad and all fished died except a coris wrasse. The tank has never been right since. I put in new bulbs about 3 months ago, thinking maybe the lighting was bad and this was causing the green algae. The...

    Brookynella taking amost all of my fish!

    Won't the Brook still be in my tank? Isn't it like ich and won't it still be in my tank waiting for any new fish to leach onto? I understand the bath will treat my current fish, but isn't it still in my tank?

    Brookynella taking amost all of my fish!

    Is Brook about the same as Ich? Would it be a good idea, to get rid of the remaining fish in my tank and go 6-8 weeks to get rid of the parasite as mentioned in the ich post earlier? I can leave inverts and live rock in there..correct?

I took out my carbon when I did it. I treated the entire tank for 3 days as per the bottle. I'll try and go back to...

    Brookynella taking amost all of my fish!

    I have lost 4 fish to (I think) Brookynella within one week. I purchased a medication from my store and put the 1st fish in a sick tank with medicine and it died the next day.
