Thoughts on Powder Blue Tang? I want to get a powder blue but heard they are ick magnets.

Ok. I think he is about 2 1/2 inches

no meds needed unless you see a problem with him. the point of qt is to observe the fish (and medicate if needed) and let it settle down so that it doesnt get in the dt and cause the tank to crash.

he should be fine in a 10g for a week

Ok what size tank would you recommend?

 

[Reeflix]

for qt?

 

[Nemolover12]

Yes

 

[Reeflix]

he should be fine for up to 2 weeks in a 10g but longer than that he needs a 20g

well how big is the fish? you should qt a fish 4-6 weeks but if hes is bigger than 3.5 inches you might want a bigger qt tank. you def need to qt him

Doubt the fish is any larger than 2” since the QT’ed price is only $120…, but let’s hear from the OP

you also need to do a 15 percent water change every 3 days since they poop alot

I get all my fish from a friend that is humblefish approved, everything is fully Qt. Haven’t finished setting up my tank yet but the powder blue he got for me looks perfect. If you want his contact feel free to pm me. I get no benefit from that other than knowing people are getting high quality fish.

Care to share how much a QT’ed small powder blue would cost at this humble fish approved place? My guess is $200

how much would you pay for a ich immune powder blue?

I recently added a QT’d PBT to my tank, prior to his addition, no signs of ich on the resident community. Within 3 days, the PBT was showing spots.

I don’t have the space or resources/time to completely pull all my fish into my own QT system, so I doubled down on H202 treatment, added a UV and Biota Cleaner Wrasse and all appears well now. The cleaner wrasse has quickly become one of my favorite fish in the tank as a result (he’s literally servicing everyone inside the tank), alongside very pristine looking water, lol.

I will ask what his current price is. Luckily I don’t have to pay shipping so that helps my cost.
