Symptoms:
My male clown came down with cloudiness/glassiness in both eyes about a week ago. My female clown came down with it in her left eye only, about 2 days ago. She also has a much brighter white dot on the eye as well. They both twitch but i cant tell if its mating twitching or parasite.
My potters angle is twitching slightly and hiding in shady spots in the tank. The angle has also lost some of its color and is looking very pale. No eye cloudiness on this fish.
The 3 fish are eating well still.
The tank glass appears to have small white pinhead organisms crawling around. They are too difficult to recognize but they do move around. they also appear to be in the water column.
Possible Causes:
Ive had my hands in the tank periodically over the past week or so re-aquascaping and adding about an inch to the sand bed. Ive been doing a couple water changes 3 or so per week while i was doing this.
I recently added a ATO system to the tank and have noticed that the water in the reservoir bucket is stagnant and i notice a slimy surface to the walls of the bucket. Not sure if this is a cause, but i put some carbon in there just in case?
Solution:
? thats where YOU come in lol.
Ive been soaking their food in garlic hoping that will help them fight whatever it is off.
Hopefully there is an IN TANK treatment for whatever this is because it will be Extremely dificult to catch these fish. I however understand if i do have to take them out to treat whatever this is and will do my best to get them out, i dont have a qt tank set up though.
My tank and fish history:
The female clown and Angle are 1.5 years old and have never come down with anything since ive had them with exception to their first month in the tank with ich.
The male is a new addition 6 months old and hasnt showed any signs of anything since hes been in the tank.
Tank 34gal solana. 250wt de mh, current usa leds.
full reef, mostly soft corals, LPS, and an LTA.
Params are all in check. the only thing that might of spiked during the water changes was a high ph and possible 2 degree temp difference
