I’ve got a few tangs in my system and they seem a bit “off” to me.
Tomini tang seems to have a few isolated white dots that seem to be raised.
The Hawaiian tang looks rough to me but behaved/eats normally. It seems to be pretty bumpy around the stomach (internal parasites?) and looks like it may have velvet? MaHe was a recent addition (2-3 weeks ago) and was purchased via a reputable online dealer who quarantines. Always just assumed he looked a bit off because it seemed to be a younger fish and is captive bred.
More info about the other tank inhabitants: Everyone is eating as normal, no loss of appetite. My convict tang seems normal. I have notice him flashing every once in a while. I have noticed my Midas blenny also flashing rarely onto the sand (seemed to be territorial?).
Tank parameters are:
Tank age: ~5 months (transfer from previous 40g tank)
Tank size: 5x2x2 150g w
Temp: 79
pH: 7.92
Alk: 8.32 dkh
Calcium: 454
Magnesium: 1333
Nitrates: 20.3
Phosphates: .06
*Chems taken before my weekly 1% WC
Anyone want to confirm my suspicions and solidify my decision to not use this reputable online fish vendor again?
