tang

Help!!! My zebra tang has white stringy poop that looks like worms, has cloudy eyes & has white specks all over its body, almost looks like a film is covering his body. Anyone know what kind of sickness/parasite he could have? & how can I treat him & possibly the entire tank? Attached is a...

I have no idea what to make if this. I tried to take a photo but I couldn’t get anything usable so I took a video. here is the video. I have no idea what happened or what to do about it. The fish was added just over a week ago and there has been no signs of aggression in the tank whatsoever.

Hey Everyone! The last couple of nights I've gotten home from work pretty late and the lights are off in the tank (not completely, at 1% so its not pitch black.) I've noticed that my Scopas Tang is a different color pattern at night! during the day his front half is yellow/blue ish and is back...

I have had a tiny hippo tang just under 2 inches for about 7 months now. She got ich and pulled through in the first couple weeks and has been clean since. Occasionally I've seen her pick up some cuts and scratches that heal and I thought nothing of it. Recently she had several of them and her...

I came home from work today and saw my chevron tang had some Mark's on the side of it. My dogface puffer also seems to have a little cloudy spot on his fin. I think it my be a bacterial infection. I have a 155 gallon with a 40 gallon sump not shoe what I should do.

I have a Red Sea Max nano tank with a nice reef and lots of small coral . I have community fish and have enough bioload left for another one. I have a growing issue of hair algae. I know tangs need a larger tank for long term. i want to get a baby tang and swap them out every few months to...

Hey guys, I had this blue hippo tang for about 3 years in the same tang, currently there are only a pair of fancy clowns along with lps with him and the clowns dont bother him, if anything it will be the other way around. The first few months he was very shy and timid but over the years he has...

Hey guys, I got my first tang today but I'm really worried. He has many white spots and i dont't know if it is just stress or ich that i have to fight. He is in qt right now...... Would be great if someone could help me. He is in the qt now for around 2 hours but not swimming at all, I think the...

First of all, thank-you in advance for any recommendations you're able to provide! I've been reef keeping for about 3.5 years and enjoy the challenges of it. I've made the rookie mistakes and tried to learn from all of them. I was able to hook up with an awesome LFS where I lived and they were...

Hi everyone, hope you’re doing well. Today I introduced a 2 inch yellow Kole eye tang into my 75 gallon tank and I’m having some aggression. I currently have a canary blenny, a cardinal, a flasher wrasse, a leopard wrasse, and a sleeper head goby. My leopard wrasse was in the sand when I...

I have a yellow tang that seems to have an isopod attached to it. What would you recommend for treatment? Is it dangerous? We removed the beast with tweezers. It took some fin with it. Fish seems OK for the ordeal. Here are some pics

Hi Reef2Reef, I got a scopas tang from Reef-A-Palooza and I am wondering how you guys get tangs to start eating nori. I’m worried that he won’t last long if he doesn’t start eating so any advice is welcome.

Hear me out So I’ve had my ten gallon reef tank setup for around 3 months and my mother bought a baby blue tang from the LFS because she wanted a dory. I don’t know much about blue tangs since I only had a pair of juvenile clownfish for less than a month but when I searhed it up it says they...

Hi All, I have a Kole Tang and clown in QT that appear to have fin rot. I've just completed a 10 day treatment of Kanaplex and Furan 2, and now it seems the Tang is not eating. I've read that antibiotics can be an appetite suppressant, but for how long do the affects last? Also, will the fins...

I have a tank with a 5.5 inch desjardini, a 4 inch powder blue, and a 3 inch blue hippo. They were added at the same time and have been getting along with literally no aggression for about 6 months now. But in the last few days I have noticed the powder blue occasionally chasing the blue hippo...

Hey folks, Want to get your opinion on tang compatibility. I am upgrading from a 75 display to a 125, 6ft display (the tanks coming tomorrow and ill start my build right away). I currently have a Tomini and a pair of clowns - my motivation behind the 6ft tank was to get my tomini the space he...

Hello I am trying to put a list of fish together for a new build and I'd really like to stock it with fish only found around the Hawaiian islands. If you could give me some ideas that would be great. Also its for a 75 gallon and I'm sure ill be upgrading that as well at some point.

Hey this is my first post here, i have a 210 gallon fish only tank with an emperor angel, a regal angel, a Naso tang, banner fish, a damsel i got from a friend, and an anthias. I am thinking of getting one more tang, but im not sure how much fish would be overstocking the tank. I also want some...

Hey there everyone!! I have a gem tang that is just too big for my tank so i figured id give him to someone with a larger one.... he is 4-5 inches asking 700 my loss your gain!! Pick up in Orlando florida willing to meet

Title is pretty much self explanatory I’ve done some research and found tons of conflicting information on the tank size for a purple tang Would one be okay in a Red Sea reefer 350 with a open aquascape?

So let me preface this by saying that yes my tank is small for those two tangs. They get along great and are just in the tank for algae control until I move them to my larger system. So so recently my female clown has become more and more aggressive. To the point where the male now has to...

There are a lot of truisms (some would say myths) - in this hobby. Note - the word myth - is not meant to suggest anything negative about any of these points. Just that they are 'common' things we read every day on the forums. In the poll there is a 'commonly expressed 'statement' and its...

I woke up this morning and found all of my fish breathing heavy. Especially my blonde naso. I found my bubble tip anemone had finally died and poisoned the tank so I transferred the gasping fish to my observation tank and did a massive water change. The other fish all worked up fine but the naso...

I'm hoping someone can help me identify if something's wrong with my Tomini Tang or if it's recent actions are nothing to worry about. Yesterday I noticed that she was swimming frantically at times as well as swimming sideways. Today I've noticed the same but she's also now acting very...

My story begins approx. 15 years ago with me cruising down the fish isle at Petco and stumbled upon an Australian Harlequin Tusk-fish. With not knowing anything about the hobby, I still purchased him along with a 20 gallon fish tank, heater, and filter. After conducting more research on the...
