ich?? yellow headed goby needs help!!

Been busy lately.. im probably going to set up the qt tank this week. As for the goby, i still haven been able to get him to eat but he does look a little better. Hes been out sifting the sand almost everytime i look at the tank. The poop is still stringy so iam going to put him in the qt as soon as its set up asap. How can i go about trying to id what paeasite that might be?

 

The goby is looking better!! The spots look like they fading away. Hes been sifting alot of sand and he actually was trying to eat pellets when i dropped them in, although he tried to sift them and they would come right back out his gills its a start though

 

Good luck! I hope he pulls through this.

 

Hes getting Better!! The stomach is still in a little bit but the white spots are still fading away. I think it was just shock from going into a new tank

 

Setting up the Qt tank tonight..Loks like hes getting worse again... and now one of my clowns looks like hes getting it. he has been getting harrassed ALOT ever since the other clown decided to take up residence in my goiniopora... ugh. is there any reason why i shouldnt qt two fish at once?
Tahnks for moving to the disease section.

 

I think QT is a little late, it is already throughout the tank. Try and keep the fish fed so they can fight it off. Are you soaking their foods? Feeding HUFA's? Sorry I didn't reread entire thread and can't remember.

 

im just feeding frozen mysis and formula one.once in a whie ill soak it in garlic
the goby still refuses to eat anyhting i put in the tank so im going to put him in the hospital tank and try to get him to eat frozrn foods

 

Try getting some Selcon or another soak that has HUFA's, they help with the fishes immune system, garlics effects are debatable on the immune, although it will help entice them into eating.

 

sounds good ill try to pick that up today at the lfs. thanks

 

No problem, I always soak my food in selcon before I feed. It might be a little pricey but definitely worth it.
