    Hypo ineffective - Marine Itch or something else?

    Thought I would drop in for a follow up post... 3 weeks on and none of the surviving fish are showing any signs of disease, I have taken steps to improve nutrition including soaking most meals in vitamins (kent marine zoe, still trying to track down a "fats" supplement here in Australia...) and...

    Thanks for the reply Lee, in answer to your questions: The spots never went away totally, since the spots appeared on the purple tang, they have never completely cleared up, at one stage there appeared to be one spot on the fin of our scribbled rabbitfish, there have never been any visible...

    Hypo ineffective - Marine Itch or something else?

    I was referred to this forum suggesting it is the best place to go for disease/infection diagnosis... We have a purple tang who has at least two serious health problems, see pictures below: It seems pretty obvious that he has head/lateral line erosion - I beleive this is likely to be...
