Fish looks sick.

[Anonymous]

Hi I have a fish and it is looking sick. It has white spots all over it and it isn't swimming much. It is also rubbing itself on the tank a fair bit.

Sounds like it could be ich. Check through some of these search results - should be some good info...

Any body have any experience trying to rid a tank of ich with a uv sterilizer? :?: :?: :?:

it does sound like ick, i agree 100%. i would buy a reef safe (copper free) antibiotic. i have used greenex before and it worked great on my purple tang! i have had experience with uv sterilizers and they are benificial in a fish only tank, but i wouldn't recomend them for a reef tank as they do as much good as they do bad in a reef.

Hope i could help
