Algae Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Looks like my clowns have Black Ich. Does anyone have a treatment to suggest? I'm thinking QT and formalin, but would appreciate any imput. Thanks In Advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Algae Posted June 4, 2008 Author Share Posted June 4, 2008 Here is a photo. It may be Malpigmentation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsoz Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Is it hosting a coral? sometimes they get black dots from the coral stings, ask Impur (or maybe it was Nyles???) It goes away after a little while as the fish gets used to the stings. dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Algae Posted June 4, 2008 Author Share Posted June 4, 2008 Not hosting. Typical tank-bred Clown. Hangs at top 1/3 of aquarium and away from all corals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impur Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 You see it rubbing up against any corals? Any change in behavior? My clown had something similar when it began hosting a frogspawn coral. Stuck around for about 6 months then went away. Never saw change in behavior or feeding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downhill_biker Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 algae: i honestly think that you do have black ich. as you can see from other's photos coral stings are much larger and what you have looks like clumps of very small black particles. treating black ich is similar to white spot, hyposalinity or copper, as far as i know.

impur Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Yah your does look different then mine did. Might be a good idea to treat just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
