Just noticed my tang. Ich?

Sorry to hear it. On the bright side, less population gives the others a better shot. Did you end up leaving them in the tank?

 

Yes I got some Selcon but by the time it arrives the other fish ostracized him and he quit eating about 4 days ago. Everyone else is eating the soaked food and are looking a little better. So far so good. Maybe the rest will pull through. The blue tang is 3 and the clowns are a mated pair and are 6 also.

 

sending you positive vibes that they pull through!

 

Nope, They all died =( Ich outbreak 2014... never forget.

 

Damn! I'm sorry for your losses. I've lost a nice lot of fish this year to brooklynella. It absolutely devastated me. Almost took down my tank. I truly believe you did all you can do. I hope to read about a nice comeback from you in the future

 

Sorry for the loss.

A couple questions

1. Did they die in a Quarantine tank?
2. Did you using any medications?
3. Is the Angel still in the display, or did you loose that fish as well.

 

I pulled 3 out to quarantine and they died with in 48 hours in the hospital tank. I felt the stress and copper did more harm then good so the remaining three I left in the tank and made sure the water was immaculate. the rest died over the course of a week or so. The tang was left in the display and was feeding her Selcon nori twice a day along with Rods food soaked in selcon. Found her dead Monday am and the pair of clowns where dead 2-3 hours later =( And yes the 5-6 year old Angel died. This was my biggest loss cause i hear how hard coral beauty can be, she was a great fish

 

Must be devastating. I only lost one and I felt bad.

 

Jezzzz that is rough.

Odd though, it sounds more like Brooklynella but the image of the Tang is Cryptocaryon. I have never had it wipe out a tank of fish.

Did the other fish present the same why with white spots that look like grains of salt?

Did you monitor the QT for ammonia?

I wonder if it was a significantly virulent variation. When was the last time you added a new fish and what fish type was it?

 

Sorry. I feel for you It's been 10 months since I went fallow after brooklynella Keep your head up I will never forget it but I am certainly happy I stayed with it and love my tank and hobby again
