tang

Our bellus angel just pooped and the two tangs followed her gobbling it up. I've seen them eat GHA, cyano, diatoms, any meat or veggies, and now, angel poop. What wont they eat?

Hello, I’m wondering if someone could help me. So I’m doing the tank transfer method for my fish because I’m 99% sure that it got into my saltwater tank. I know it wasn’t velvet, and I know it wasn’t Brook, And they were white spots. I did a freshwater dip and didn’t see anything. This is the...

I've had this guy in quarantine for about a week and noticed this developing a couple days ago. Any clue as to what it is and how to treat? He is eating fine, but every now and then he kinda flex curls to that side, so I think it's agitating him more.

I love tangs and I would love to have one of every genus eventually. I am wondering what experience people have with the Prionurus genus. I am specifically interested in P. Biafraensis and P. Chrysirus because they are tropical species and smaller. Pictures welcomed!

So I got a Kole tang about a week ago. Plump, eating well, zipping around the qt and seems very healthy. He does this weird thing though. Once in awhile, he’ll do this little scoot backwards once or twice, then go back to zipping around. It seems like he only does this when he knows I’m looking...

Hello, I have had this Gold Rim & Trigger in my tank for a little over a month now. The tang appeared to show ice spots but that seems to have gone away, but now is showing this symptom as well as my trigger. Both are eating, and not scratching on anything in the tank. I was thinking maybe some...

I've had a 4-5 inch Powder Brown Tang in my 125 for almost a week now, it's the only tang, and largest fish in the tank. It appears happy and healthy, but it literally will not eat. I've tried frozen LRS Fish Frenzy, three different freeze dried foods, two different pellet foods, and nori...

I am not sure if I am being paranoid or not so I figured I would ask the experts. Tang is not showing any labored breathing, normal eating, no scratching. Seems to be about 5 small bumps under his skin on his side, small but noticeable because I look at him everyday. And like 4 white dots on...

Good morning fish disease experts, Here’s whats happening: Divers den fish bought 4 yrs ago Been through ttm, CP, prazipro. Occasionally (3x year for few days to 1 wk), I will see a spot on its pectoral fin or dorsal fin. Never on the body but close to. I’ve chalked it up to Lympho because no...

Blurry photo attached. I really need to get a phone with a better camera. Our yellow Tang has been hanging out in the corner of the tank with both of our firefish for a few minutes. Is he harassing them? Are they all hiding from the current? Is the Tang confused and thinking he is a firefish?

Hi, we recently did a deal where we bought all of the residents of a tank which was being broken down for sale. Mostly coral but a few fish as well. 1 Green Mandarin Goby 2 clowns 1 “dwarf” tang I don’t think something called a dwarf tang really exists and am confident they didn’t know what...

Is anyone familiar with this disease (watch video)? I fed a lot less over the last two weeks n now this.

Hey all, So a few moths ago, I posted a thread about my tangs HLLE getting worse, and people told me to change my power outlet (as stray voltage was in the tank), and also to dose my seaweed with vitamins, and I now do that with a product called VitaChem. I also feed my tang spirulina, and...

Ok...so this is my first post and I know I am running the risk of the Tang Police getting on my case, but here goes. I’m three months into my new 90gal reef adventure. I went for the RedSea 350 and currently have: Yellow Damsel (inherited and also a pain in the rear) Clownfish Royal gramma...

Felt sorry for this little guy, it looks rough. Opinions on where to begin? 1. Into 30 gal observation tank with live rock, macro algae, sand and pair of small clowns? Fatten it up and observe for 30+ days. 2. Right into ttm? 3. Set up 5 gal qt tank and begin other treatment? It will end up...

Pair of Paracanthurus hepatus Names: Dory and Yrod

Hi Guys/Girls, My tank is a 130.4 Waterbox, all paramaters are fine (I check regularly) and fish/corals are all for the most part healthy and happy. The issue i'm having is to do with my tangs and aggression towards one another. I started with: 1 yellow tang, 2 clowns and a bunch of anthias...

I have a magnificent anemone that decided to take a walk into my gyre pump last night. I think it may recover but a bunch of it’s tentacles tore off before I noticed. I think one of them must have stung by hippo tang because it is breathing heavy, has its muscles cramped and flexed to the side...

Tonight I ran into, without question, one of the strangest things I ever have in all my days keeping fish. I recently finished adding my fish back to the DT after a long fallow period for ich. They’ve been back about two weeks, and tonight I cut the lights off a little early to acclimate a new...

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...
