What disease is this?

I think you mean Australian on the Tusk... not from Austria :lol:

I've seen a few cases this bad - it didn't end well.

Sounds like you are doing all you can - so that's about all you can do.

I'd be inclined to go with Cupramine on something this bad...

Well I dont want count my eggs yet since they havent hatched but things are looking much better today. "Australian" Tusk (not austria lol) is swimming around like normal and breathing normal! and everyone as a whole is doing 100 % better. I dropped the temp a little over night and now its at 82. Here are two pics of the blue throat today

Much better. Please keep in mind that once the parasites finish feeding on the fish, they drop off to lay their eggs, and the life cycle begins again. I think you mentioned you have UV - that will kill some of them during the free-swimming stage and hopefully slow them down.

Good job!

Thanks Jenn for all your help so far! Yeah lets hope the UV and hypo state kills those little buggers! :yuk:
I was relieved today when the Tusk was swimming and breathing normal!

Everyone is back to normal today. I just feed them and everyone acted normal and ate well. We will just have to keep an eye on them! Thanks to everyone that has helped so far!

that's an amazing recovery. I have only seen ich like that on freshwater fish, and that never ended well. At least i know immediate steps to take instead of googling. my IC sucks
glad they are felling better
