|  Miracle Fish
I last reported that my Flag Fin Angel was on its death bed from cloud eye and fin rot and was considering euthanizing it. It was looking really bad swimming at the top of the tank unable to swim to the bottom and its breathing was very labored. The mouth and belly of the fish was also hemorrhagic. It also hadn't eaten in 10 days. Well after placing it in my QT tank and aggressively treating it with penicillin and Furan together with every other day water changes and FW dips, the fish looks like it has turned the corner. Its swimming all around the tank and today for the first time is starting to peck at brine shrimp a little. The belly is clear and the eye cloud is gone.
I think I need some good karma to help this fish survive  _________ 75g reef with Nova Extreme 8 bulb HO T-5 lighting, refuge, Remora skimmer, DSB, Seio powerheads, Acro's, LPS corals, assorted zoo's & mushrooms, Yellow Tang, Maroon Clown, Blue Cleaner Goby , Cleaner, Fire and Sexy Shrimp, Coco Worm, T.Crocea Clam, Derasa Clam

More good news! Today I placed the Angel back into the main tank. Its eating very aggresively. I had a little scare though. My new Powder Blue Tang was harassing it for 2 hours until I placed my 6" Purple Tang back in the Tank. I had pulled the P.Tang out and placed him in a separate tank for a few days so it wouldnt kill the Powder Blue. Now all the fish are in equilibrium and getting along. The Powder Blue and P. Tang eye each other though. | |
