I am looking for advice as I have a blue regal tang and a yellow tang with two different diseases. I have had the blue tang for 4 months and he was in my display and doing great until this week. I saw him flash a few times earlier in the week and then today noticed 5-7 white spots of ich. I managed to net it with much effort and have moved it to a separate QT. To complicate matters, I just purchased a yellow tang 2 weeks ago and it has been in the QT since for my normal 4 weeks quarantine period of new fish. This week it has shown less interest in food and today I noticed black spots on the new yellow tang. Black ich/tang disease.
I only have 1 QT, is it a 20g and now has both tangs in it. (I Know not ideal) I have gradually lowered the sg of the QT throughout the day to 1.018 and am thinking of bringing it down a bit lower. I am about to do some reading about both diseases and try to figure out where to go from here, in the meantime any advice would be greatly appreciated. Will copper treat both infections? Any other suggestions/advice??
Thanks for the help.
