Morning, so, about a week ago my yellow tang broke out in ich. I have no idea how I got it or if it was just dormant in the tank, but I've dealt with it before so I pulled everyone to the hospital tank and started hyposalinity treatment. Brought them down to .009 over three days. Ich appeared on my sailfin and coral beauty during this process but has since cleared up. Ammonia got as high as 1ppm during the die off in the rock I'm using; it was controlled with prime and water changes the entire time and is currently 0.25 and dropping. Nobody currently has what I think are ich spots.
But, last night, after a water change on the hospital tank, my black clown was covered in these hanging translucent things. They appeared in a matter of minutes, during the water change. She's never liked water changes and I was doing a lot of large ones close together to control the ammonia, so I assume she was pretty stressed. It's been about 12 hours with no changes. Since these things appeared, she's been hiding in corners and did not eat when I fed the tank. She had a similar dangling... thing... a few days ago, which vanished. The coral beauty also has 1 (just 1) and the sailfin might have had one that cleared; fish never let me get a good look.
There is no loss of color. The two tangs both got freshwater dips when I moved them to the hospital tank but the clown did not. I've had this fish for 8 years, not a new fish; she's a nasty little black widow and bully usually. I assume the carriers that introduced any possible disease are the chromis that came out of quarantine about 2 weeks before the ich appeared.
