Sick Fish

Post by jenningsxxx » Sun Dec 12, 2010 12:10 pm

Does anyone know what is wrong with this fish? I got these marks on it about two days ago. I did lose a Sohal Tang about two weeks ago with something similar.

Any help would be appreciated.

its ick like but not sure that is ick, the pic is not as good as I would like and that large lesion is not consistent with the parasite as well as the way the spots are kinda all in the same area. hmmmmmm

I'm pretty sure it is not Ick. There are no spots on the fins and the spots on his body are way to big. Should I treat with some Maracyn or just use garlic. What do you think?

are you going to isolate or treat in reef? garlic no matter what you do and make sure your sterilizer is working!! bulb less than 6 months etc.
Meds in the reef would be my very last resort and even then would be thinking let the fish go it on its own
