Suggestion needed

[tks 13]

Hi all,

I have reserved some fishes from a fellow reefer about 2month ago.

He called me and ask me to collect by this Sun but currently my tank is infested with parasite.

6 fishes had just passed away and today my YT also up the lorry.

All those fishes have been with me for at least 8mth.

All feeding well and this 2week I have been flooding my tank with Dr G food but still all died.

Now,I really hope to keep those fishes that I reserved,but I definitely can't put them to my DT now.

I am sure they will not survive.

I can't set up a QT also(space prob).

Anyone can suggest something for me?

Tot of housing the reserved in a container with air bubble and change water every 2-3days,is this possible?

Please advice,greatly appreciate any input.Thanks

Pass on the fishes, don't waste them and your money. Can always get later when ready

That's how I feel

Bro, you can use a tub from toyogo or ikea to temporary house the fish.

I have used this way for about 3 months before.

You just need a wavemaker; and if possible a chiller with the pump in the tub.

Change water about 10% weekly.

Cheers!

Hi bro KenYee, Much appreciation with your kind offer. I will try to sort tis problem out 1st as I dun wan to bother kind reefer like you. Will PM u if really got no way out. Once again thanks a million

I don't know how big is your tank but you have at least 5 tangs inside. I suspect the environment is too hostile and disease outbreak happens as tangs are aggressive to each other. I suggest not to put so many tangs inside your tank.

Bro,thank you for your advice? I use to have 22 tangs in my 5 Ft. Now tis tank only 12 tangs,I know where u cmin frm. But this parasite is around just after I run in which is 2yrs back. Bro, i really dun knw wat to say it just like that. Sorry if my words offend u.

If u keep adding fish, your problem will never end. I cant see very clearly from your pic but i suspect is ich. Everytime u add in a new fish, the ich outbreak again n again. For a reef tank, u can try water change everyday till u see improvement. As for the fishes u reserved, I think its better to sell off to someone else. your tank issue will not be solved in 2 mths.

May be you want to consider keeping small fishes. My 6ft tank used to house some of the biggest giant tangs (I called them cow). Now I find a reef tank with many tiny fishes (like anthias) actually look more pleasant and best still they won't knock my coral down and kill them accidentally.
