Disease!!!!!!!

[is_that_a_fish]

i was doing a water change and i noticed what looked like bumps on my false percs. It also looks like the front white band has faded and orange is showing. They are still eating. What could this be. They are still in quarantine because one of my fish had itch. Is this brooknyellia (spelling?). PLEASE HELP

[is_that_a_fish]

well the bumps arnt bumps, just whit spots. i have figured it out its ITCH!!!! AGAIN!!!! well i decided to take out all my fish from the quarantine tank and put them in individual baggies, then i tore apart the quarantine, took out all the sand (which i believe was the biggest mistake and itch needs sand to breed, so it shouldnt have been there in the 1st place) put in all new water which i already had. And gave all the fish a freshwater dip and put them back into quarantine. so i guess i will be fighting the itch bug again, but luckily this time i am prepared.

Good luck! Sounds like the ich bug is going around.

I have a cure that works great... fry the fishies up and make some sushi... seems to be the best permenant cure i have found so far...

if they are getting sick then you need to look at the tank and see what is stressing them out. what are your parms?

actually they were never in my display tank when they got sick. Ok here is what happened. My royal gramma had a mild case of itch, so i decided to take all the fish out of my display. Well after 4 weeks all seemed good in the quarantine. It looked like i didnt have itch anymore, but i have got to admit that i did let the water quality in the quarantine tank slide a little (big mistake i know) well looks like the clowns have itch so i will have to go through the process all over again. But this time i changed all the water in the quarantine, washed it reall good, washed all the equipment and started over with some already mixed saltwater. It looks like very little itch, just enough for you to get worried. My display has been empty for 4 weeks now.

I'm glad you caught it before moving everyone back to display tank tho.
