Help!!!!

Alright so about two days ago we noticed that our Blonde Naso Tang didn't seem to be feeling very well. She had what looked like some ich starting to appear on her fins, all of our parameters are fine...we`ve already tried feeding her with seaweed and garlic but she won’t touch it. She`s now unfortunately not doing so well and is resting on the bottom of our tank. We really don`t want to lose her...we`re attempting to set up a quarantine tank to get her in asap....what next...please help!!!

Ammonia=0
Nitrites: 0
nitrates: 5-10 ppm
pH: 8.1
temperature: 78
salinity: 1.026
calcium: 460

 

hmmm salinity may be .001 to high, im not sure. i hope your tang is ok

 

moving tang may stress it if it is not eating then it might be on its way out. I would just try to keep an eye on it and try to get it to eat.

 

Thanks for the quick responses guys We`re going to do our best to get her to eat....any thoughts on whether we should keep the lights on then....like she wont eat if we dont have the lights on but is it not best to have the lights off to keep her from getting more stressed out....(i`m more stressed than her i think lol)

 

i belive it!

 

If you move her now, that will only place more stress on her as 10acrewoods mentioned. Ick is caused by stress of some kind. I personaly dont do anything to help a fish, what happens happens. It the circle of life. Luna
