Bumpy Blue Tang

My captive bred blue tang I have had for about a month had a little problem with ich, so for the past week I have been using garlic to soak its food. I look at it today and I see a bunch of bumps but not white spots. Is this something new or just irritation from where the ich was?

 

Please post an image if possible.

Captive breed? Where did you get this Tang?

 

From a LFS in Richmond, VA.

 

Bumps can be a multitude of things.

Typically Tangs can be caught at a very young age and captive raised. There was some speculation as to the successful breeding of Tangs a couple years back. I sure hope they are captive breeding them but I have my doubts and can not find anything definitive but I will look around more.

 

Ive heard of captive raised before in tangs, Not so much bred. Not saying that its not possible. Since captive bred large angelfish in a few species are hitting the markets now.

As for the bumps, I have seen it in a few cases where later on within the day or next it shows up as more ich or the start of an infection from irritation.
