The tang died of a bacteria infection, it stopped eating and it all went down hill from there. I understand that you think 8 fish is alot but when i look at the tank it looks so empty. the butterfly fish stays in a corner all day, healthy but apparently likes that corner, the clown fish stay in...

well i just lost a tang so i have some room to fill in my tank. I have a 75 gallon tank w/ a lemon butterflyfish, coral beauty angelfish, 2 clownfish, a sixline wrasse, a lawnmower blenny, a strawberry psuedochromis, and a royal gramma. 1 cleaner shrimp (1 just recently died) and various snails...

remember when i posted that my pb tang was going down, well we got him into a quarantine tank about 3 weeks ago and we have been treating it with parasite medicine......well idk if he still ahs parasites but he stopped eating and now hes swimming terribly and running into objects in the...

We took all the fish out of the tank and did a copper treatment for 8 to 10 weeks and then we put them back in the main tank when all of the spots were gone. If i put the tang in the qt then is there any medicine i should use or just lower the salinity?

salinity-1.023 nitrate-5 mg/l nitrites- 0 ammonia- 0 ph-8.2

i have a 20 gallon quarantine tank that i can use at the moment, but the real problem is how do i catch the tang? Is stressing it out more worth it?

Well there wasnt an increase of white dots over the last week so maybe it isnt anything. I think I only see white dots one 2 fish but its only 1 or 3 on both. It may be ich or just my imagination. Ill try garlic and other things to help their immune systems, but if ich comes back with a...

Neocatsy, how effective was this medicine when you used it? I have heard that all natural medications that are reef safe usually dont work but if you had good luck then I am willing to try it.

Also I am trying to stay away from adding new fish to the tank to reduce stress and the chances of adding another parasite, but thank you for the suggestion.

I still don't understand why the 8 week period did not work. Putting the fish in quarantine tanks again wouldnt be ideal because we lost fish from the 8 week period and i still have a hipo tang in a quarantine tank dealing with hlle. i am unwilling to quarantine them again because if the ich...

Also, how does hypo salinity work, do I have to take the fish out of the tank (i am guessing that is a yes but jw)

Kurt Nelson, treating the fish in a quarantine tank is not an option because I just ended an 8 week period of quarantining the fish. I used copper and the fish looked good. I put the fish back in and a few days later i notice small white dots on my butterfly fish. I have dealt with ich about 3...

How affective would you say fw dips are?

Innovator, I have never done a fw dip, so how do you do it properly. Also I have zoe, zoecon and vitamin c, will this work as well as selcon? Also what is Chloroqine? I will look it up but I would also like to hear your opinion on it.

Also thankyou for the garlic link. Advice still needed and wanted.

I know quarantine would be better but I can't, sad but true, im just looking for options to give my fish a fighting chance incase im right.

ok heres the deal, i just ended the 8 week quarantine tank period for ich with copper. I lost a few fish on the way but i made it. Ive been down the ich road many times but i thot this would end it. a couple days later i think i see my butterfly fish and tang with very small white dots. There...

Ya I really like the flame angel.

Also, if anyone would recommend a certain type of angelfish, that would be great!

Ok, do you think two would be better or worse..or should I just forget the idea?

Well I wasn't going to put the new fish in with the already quarantined fish, because I have an extra quarantine tank that I was going to use. I'd hate to keep my coral beauty in another 8 weeks, after it already did its time. Do you think it would be ok if i added my two new angels after I put...

Ya I heard its a 50 50 chance with angels, and I think I was told that 3 angels are better because then you have an odd number least likely chance with one being a bully and the other being the bullied, that's what I've heard anyways, I could be wrong. Should I quarantine the new angel/angels...

Well I am in love with angel fishes basically. I already have a coral beauty angelfish, and I would like to get another angelfish. Since all my fish are in quarantine tanks I was wondering if I could also get a singapore angel and put them in at the same time. I have a 75 gallon tank. I have...

No problem, it happens.:]

Ok thanks a bunch.
