Greetings fish folks! I am in dire need of advice. I have a Yellow Tang (wild) that has small pitted spots around his eyes and nose. It also appears that he has a bit of ick on his fins. The Tang is active, eating and swimming normally around tank (no flashing) . I have had my (marine only) saltwater tank up and running successfully without problems for 13 months. My Yellow Tang is a new addition and has only been in the tank for about 1 month. I did not quarantine. My tank is a 39 gallon Eclipse system with skimmer, powerhead and live sand substrate. Including my Tang there is a Yellow-tail Damsel and a Pink Pseudo Chromis. So a total of (3) fish in tank along with a few hermit crabs. There is no aggression between the fish. I have been primarily feeding the Tang 1" square pieces of nori and also flakes daily. I have not yet treated tank. It also appears that Pseudo Chromis is suffering from a very light case of Ick as well.
Here are my tank paremeters:
ammonia: between 0.00 and 0.25 ppm
nitrates: between 10 and 20 mg/L
nitrites: 0 ppm
sg: between 1.022 and 1.023
pH: 8.4
temp: 77 degrees
Any and all advice is greatly appreciated!!!
Many Thanks!!
