Freshwater dip wun do anything to internal parasites..it will only stress the fish and make it more prone to subsequent parasite attacks...

You could try some garlic to improve the immune system...and possibly some deworming medication meant for freshwater fish...not sure if they will work for marine fish..but always make sure to check the content of the medication in case it is lethal to inverts.

Always something more important than fish.

How certain are you that it is intestinal parasites?

It's probably that your tang is still stressed from shipping and needs more time to settle down before it bloats up. Does it hide alot?

If it is unstressed, swimming in the open and eating alot, then I will suspect cyanide poisoning... it affects the internal organs.

my kole tang died with symptoms like that after 2 months in my tank. My powder blue also developed the same symptoms after 1 week in my tank and eventually died on the second week too. Both were eating well, nori soaked in garlic, mysis shrimp soaked in garlic and red plankton soaked in garlic. But they developed sunken cheek bones, sunken stomach and panted heavily. Eventually just a few days before they died they stopped eating all together.

My purple tang and yellow tang have no such symptoms and were bought together with the kole tang. Now 4 months in my tank already.

This is a really strange disease. However their bodies were covered with gradually increasing ich, purple tang and yellow tang are now immune to it and do not have any ich at all.

I am not sure....fish is eating brine shrimp(snatching to be exact)....swims around a lot...seldom go into hiding....will take nori (a little).... refuses pellets(was taking a few weeks ago) ....

if cynide posioned....why it suddenly loses so weight?

I'll include a pic to show you what I mean....I am really worried...I look at it everyday and tries all sorts of food to get it to eat....

Cookie... if you do a search on cyanide poisoning on the internet... you will find these to be classic symptoms.... a fish that looks healthy, exhibiting bright colours and eating well suddenly dies for no apparent reason. I heard one of the symptoms is the fish's poop is white in colour.

Same symptoms as a whole lot of other deseases. All above discussions are not conclusive of cyanide poisoning. Often hobbyists like to shift the blame of mystery deaths to cynaide fishing. <_<

However, nothing could prepare me for the financial blow I experienced when I fell victim to an online scam. Losing $25,000 felt like losing a part of my identity, as those funds represented not just my savings but also dreams and aspirations for my art. I found myself feeling lost, anxious, and uncertain about the future. In the midst of this turmoil, I began searching for solutions to recover my lost funds. That’s when I came across Digital Tech Guard Recovery. Initially, I was skeptical. Like many, I had read about recovery services that promised the world but often delivered nothing.

They took the time to understand my situation, guiding me through the recovery process step by step.

They were patient, answering all my questions and providing me with updates throughout the process. Their expertise was evident, and it was comforting to know that I was in capable hands. It felt as if I had a team of advocates on my side, fighting to reclaim what was rightfully mine. Over the next few weeks, I watched as they diligently worked on my case. They kept me informed about their progress and what steps were being taken. I had almost lost hope, but their determination reignited my faith in the possibility of recovery. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, I received the news that my funds had been successfully recovered. I couldn't believe it—I was overjoyed.
