blue tang

I recently purchased a 65 gallon Red Sea tank on Offerup. The owner was including all of his livestock along with the tank. One of the fish included was a fairly large blue tang (about 6-7 inches). I understand that he is likely too large for this tank but I had no choice but to take him. What...

My Mimic tang shows white patch near lower abdomen and white dots on her fins after I added a blue tang yesterday after QT for 3 weeks. Please advise next steps

Showed up this morning she was fine last night. I have never seen these spots before. Seems to be swimming around just fine.

I have a blue tang that has acting himself. He lost his appetite and doesn’t swim all over the tank like he was just a few days ago. I started noticing on Saturday that he would just stay attached to a rock and didn’t come for feed anymore. a about a month or so ago he was swimming downwards...

Good Morning. I have has this blue tang for some time, at first when he was younger I thought these marks were his nostrils but now I see them quite strange, does anyone know if this is normal? I have more tangs and this is the only one that has this kind of marks, I also have to say that...

Hello my blue tang is having the same issue. I did epsom salt last night since he didn’t want to eat the pea, although he did eat seaweed yesterday which was the only thing I fed him cause he’s bloated. Is the epsom salt something I add consistently? or how often do I add? I have a 35-40gl tank...

I would greatly appreciate your advice regarding the identification of and treatment for a "fluke" that has recently infested my tank and Paracanthurus tang. I have a marine aquarium that is heavily infested with some form of monogeneans. One fish exhibits overt disease ("blue tang"...

Thinking about getting a blue tang and a yellow tang from Marine Collectors for around $400 total. My LFS would be around $150 for both. Is it worth the extra money for the quarantine because I know blue tangs are ich magnets so will it just get ich again once I add him to my main display or...

My boyfriend and I have a 125 gallon reef tank we are looking to fill out. We are located in the San Bernardino area but willing to travel for those that have what we're looking for. We are interested in adding bigger, whole coral colonies to help fill it out like Montis or Acros but will...

Hello, So 4 months ago I had a bad marine velvet outbreak which I lost 70% of my fish. The remaining that survived I treated them witch copper for 30 days and left my DT fishless for 80 days. So now I am buying new fish every two weeks. I already bought a coral beauty, pair of clowns and some...

I have unfortunately ran into a problem (you can probably guess what). And I have found the TTM to be my chosen method of getting rid of ICH. I am wondering how big of a temporary tank/tub I'd need for about 16 fish? I have 5 chromis, 3 clowns, 4 Cardinals, 1 dotty back, 1 long nose butterfly...

Hey guys, I’ve had my Blue Tang for about two weeks now and it’s been relatively okay. Not really eating but I thought it was nibbling in any algae in the tank. Today we noticed that the Tang has been hiding under a rock all night and day. It has barely moved. So I tried to move it to an...

I am still new to this hobby and was thrown into it when I bought our current house. Looking for help with my Blue/Hippo Tang. Have a look at the short video I've posted below. In the last couple of weeks his color has been fading and I'm worried he's caught the COVID or something. Just...

H2O2 vs Ich, via nightly dosing in display experiment. I recently bought some fish and snails from Harry’s Marine Life in LA. My fish went into my H2O2/TTM hybrid QT set up. The snails I basically dumped right in my display. I know I shouldn’t have done, but I was rushing. I usually do some...

I got this blue tang 3 days ago and its been in my QT tank because of the filmy look to it. Marine Velvet and Ich both have dots associated with them so I don't know if this guys actually sick or if hes just stressed? no change in the 3 days. Also excuse the dirty tank, its my QT in my...

Hey all, so we just inherited our 180 gallon saltwater tank on April 23rd. They gave us a ton of care instructions, food they've used, and info about most of the fish in the tank. Our Pacific Blue Tang joined the group in November 2016. As far as we know, no problems before we got here. The...

It's been three or four days and there's been ONE sign of him and then nothing. The only thing i haven't done is move some rocks to see if he died. There is seaweed for him and plenty of hiding spots. I'm very worried...

This starts with a family of the spectacular blue-striped clowns in their stylish purple carpet anemone. The larger female was doing some house cleaning around the mouth of the anemone to remove some sand particles. Then we have a look at the largest tomato clown colony I have ever seen...

Hi all, Over the past week and half my tang of 2 or so months has come down with what could be ich, but appears slightly different. The spots are not the size of sugar / salt, they are closer to the size of course salt and appear to be attached to the body, but not under the skin. Additionally...
