Hey everyone,
So I was silly and added the powder blue tang to my tank without a QT (I simply don't have space in my current house). He seemed fine but I thought I noticed ich. My friend confirmed it and we immediately went on a mission to capture him. We quickly transported him into a spare tank and then proceeded to do a 10-15 min FW dip. Now, about 3 days later his breathing has become totally normal, ALL white spots are gone, and he seems to be perfect. A complete success with healing him from ich I guess. The problem is, the tank he's in now really can't stay there and needs to be moved. Is there any way it'd be safe to move him from the QT tank back to my main tank at this stage? All the other fish are 100% healthy.
Sadly - my maroon clown died from this. Not because of the ich... but when we went after the PBT at night, he made a jump for it. Didn't find him for 2 days =(
