please help!!!!! tang captured

I had to isolate my Yellow Tang when I introduced my Blue Tang, I prepared a 30 gal. Rubbermaid bin with tap water/air rated, added Prime and heated it and made sure the salinity was the same as the tank. You may want to change the water on the third day and/or until the ICK is under control.

My Yellow Tang is most intresting fish to watch, hopefully you can reintroduce your tang back into your aquarium and enjoy him for many years to come.

Do you have a cleaner skunk shrimp and or cleaner wrasse ? This helped my yellow tang with ICK.

 

Also if you used water from your display tank for the quarantine tank it has absolutely no reason to cycle, it will be exactly the same as your display. But you do need to test and make sure everything stays good, assuming it is good in the display. Go buy a cheap hang on back (HOB) filter for the tank, shouldn't cost much. This may be costing you a lot now but a quarantine tank may be worth it's weight in gold down the road.

 

Just be sure to read the med directions, and don't use a HOB filter cartridge with carbon. Carbon will remove most meds from the water.
