I just added a blue hippo tang to my tank. I started to notice that my yellow tang had some little bumps on his skin and was paler probably because of the stress from the new fish. I also noticed a few nips on his tail also. I was worried this may be ick or some parasite. He eats fine and swims like normal every now and then hell rub up agianst a rock but thats about it. He looks somewhat better today than yesterday may be recovering. Just wanted to know if I should still use the coppersafe I bought or If i should wait and see if the fish naturally recovers??? Also has any one used coppersafe it says one tsp per 4 gallons I have a 90 gallon tank and would have to use 25tsp it sounds like alot.

thanks
