Tang with itch as predicted.

I believe this is a 30 gallon tank?

The stress of new tank syndrome probably contributed to the out break. Trust me when I post the fish were added too quickly after the initial cycle. A cycle involves far more than testing for values of ammonia, nitrite and nitrate.

 

So what do I do just buy medicine tommarow? Maybe get like a 10 gallon to put it in. With some sort of air in it?

coralines right

 

Makes sense but I figured since its so small? I thought it would last at least a month until my other was ready. I guess Ill give it lfs if they want it? . I dunno.. can't say I was not warned.

i would highly suggest starting a QT tank, especially now your setting up a 125, that can house these larger tangs, and tangs as you see now are super prone to ick..you can look at them wrong and they get ich

 

in my 150, every fish im adding is gonna sit in QT for at least a couple weeks in copper water..

 

Yes everyone knows I will dig out the links. Please read them or you will be destined to make the same mistakes over.

Several ways to go about treating, but none of them are easier than good nutrition, water quality and reduction of stress.

 

How big should I get of a qt tank? I'm doing this asap tommarow lol. I don't want them to die due to ignorance.
