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 they seem to be leaving small black dots on the tang. The tang has scratched and also seems to have developed a collection of these near one side of his face.
No other fish in the tank so any signs of illness and blue tang is still eating like a pig. I have enhanced his diet, increased feedings,and will be adding a combination to focus & metroplex to his food.
Is this just plain old ich? Something else? Or a combination of diseases.
I am not against qting the fish, but at least want to know what I'm dealing with before stressing him out.
Some pictures below, but hard to get a good one. He doesnt like the camera.
