Fish Twitching

they are ofcourse the spots the fish will rubb up against things as if he was scratching it off and when my fish had it bad i looked like a twitch and they normaly look out of shape but thats when it gets bad just get the none copper based med form your lfs just to be on the safe side make sure it has no copper in it if your putting it in your main tank and dont have a quarantine tank but it should be fine... what is the temp on your tank? you didnt put it in a seperate tank first before adding

 

The spots are about the size of a pin head. If it's not bad, you may not notice anything different. If he stops eating and is covered with them, then I would quarantine him and treat with a copper based medicine.

 

The tank is at 75deg. I did not put him/her in a quarantine tank first. He/she was at the LFS for 2 weeks in a copper treated tank (they treat all their fish only tanks w/ copper). I have a 29 I could move him to if I could catch him. The only thing is last week I had a heater break (it still was on) in the 29 and my entire room had a metallic stink. There was a section of sand burnt black with glass shards in it. A titanium heater is on its way I don't know if it would be in his best interest to quarantine him/her, if I could catch him. Are there any reef safe ich meds? If fish have ich, do they twitch, or shake? He/she is not rubbing on anything. If I raise the temperature and do do regular large water changes could he get better on his/her own?

 

IMO its tourette syndrome. You should seek therapy for it. If it starts swearing too its a definate diagnosis.

 

LOL that got a chuckle out of me..
