owl.0010 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I put my tangs in my refugium with cheatos and some different micro algae they started to eat straight away. This is my third try for tang seen in the past my tang keep dying of stress with many Ich on the body .

Guest Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 It's better for you to list your tank parameter. I don't really recommend powder blue tang. Maybe you try with easier tang like blue tang ? Anyway back to the topic. How long your tank has been running. Ammonia Nitrite Nitrate ? I don't think is possible to save the fish. But is possible to find the cause of the problem . Last thing you need to hope that is not disease Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member daveyy Posted January 8, 2016 SRC Member Share Posted January 8, 2016 Did u qt ur fish? Ich, if serious, will wipe out your tank. If your tank is a fowlr with no coral or invertebrates , you can consider dosing cupramine or prazi pro.

xeneryx Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Your tank has ich. Tangs are ich magnet. No matter how many u put, it will contract with ich. when u bought the tangs and put into your refug, they started feeding because the ich has not fully develop on the body yet. You should start curing the ich before putting in more livestock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Djnellaf Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I heard feeding fishes food with garlic can help prevent ich, is it true? I bought some Kent marine garlic concentrate to mix into my pellets to feed my fishes which includes yellow tang. Hopefully it works.

If they eat they will be stronger / less weaker. As time goes by it will immune to ich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
