Marine Ich on Frogfish

[karn888]

Can you please help me identify if my frogfish is having Marine Ich. He is on is forth day in my quarantine tank and he is now having the white spot all over his body. Other fishes in the the QT does not have this. I am not sure if it is his camouflage technique or not. I need help on this to know if I should give him medication. Here is his pictures.

[karn888]

So, what is the best way to treat marine ich on frogfish?
Any medication that does not leave residual?

 

[BigO6687]

if u dont have inverts, add copper

 

[karn888]

Is there any other way rather than using copper?

Maintain good water quality and correct feeding.

This fish should NEVER acquire marine ich, and if it does there must be something terribly wrong with your water or feeding habbits


What are your params?

Feeding?

Is that confirmed that frogfish should never get marine ich?
The water params are all ok. This is a QT tank, which only have two frogfishes I just acquired in it. It has live sand and live rock.

About feeding, since there are two frogfishes in the QT tank, I had no clue which one ate the fishe I left in the tank. I left 6 small fishes in there and I counted today and there are only 5.

But today, the white spots are much less than last night that I took the photo.

What do you mean by "correct feeding"?

So to be more specific here your orange angler has ich.

Where did you aquire this fish from?

How long have you had it?

What have you been feeding it?

What are you water test results?

What has it been eating if you have not had it for that long?

What size QT is it in?



These fish are very hardy and it's really hard for them to get ich unless something is wrong. I have seen whole tank outbreaks and all the fish dieing but a few including anglers and toadfish. As far as my two earlier questions you didn't answer either of them, telling the me water is okay means nothing. That kind of points to the fact that you have no idea or are to lazy to just test the water and type the results down on here. If you don't have a test kit, you should get one. I also asked about the diet because bad diet leads to any fish getting ich easier. So when you say 6 fish in the tank, what is that suppose to mean? 6 damsels? 6 gold fish? 6 frozen smelt? Or are you just not feeding it?

Seems like your dodging questions that I need answered to help you.
