Purple & Yellow Tang 2

[yourdi3]

Dear Bros,

Both have finally stopped fighting but just yesterday pruple tang starts to have a little white spot and today when i looked at it again the number of white spots have increase again but it is still eating as per normal and no signs of any problem in eating, can anyone advise or help? Thanks.

As long as it's eating it's chances are higher. I suggest u could soak its food in garlic extract to increase its immune system and add Its Clear into the water.

Yes it seems to be eating like normal, but both yellow and purple tang were ok for almost 1 week the suddenly purple yesterday start having white spots again. Could it be due to stress? Yes i also do add garlic extract to the food when feeding. Any other suggestions as well? Appreciate ur help.....

could be stress or quality of water.

do a check on your parameter and salinity just to make sure the water is ok. else need to change water also.

are your white spots specks of white on the scales, or tiny white protruding spots?

They seem to be protruding whitespots, happens now that yellow tang is getting some white spots as well.

Marine ich? Cryptocaryon irritans

Good chance the stress contributed to its development.

Don't worry, as long as it is eating good chance it will pull through. Most of the time when I intro new fish they gets a little white spot. Stress. New enviroment, kana bully etc.
