white spots

[godzillaliu88]

i see some white spots on my sailfin tang today.

but no itch.

is it ok? will the white spots fade away sooner or later?

keep your fingers X , tangs are prone to Marine Ich/Cryptocaryoniasis.

White spots = ICH~!!! (at a certain stage of its life-cycle).

Unless they're fine sand particles.

Tangs are the most prone to contracting ich. Good luck to you.

In a couple of days time, u will find that there're no more white spots. But actually they're just detached off the fish, and will return in an ever large number...

Hrmz, if you are worried, maybe you could just removed your sailfin for a quick dip in freshwater. Be sure not to overstress it though.

will partial water change help?

[Qxnviolet]

Hrmz, water change might help abit but as a long term solution, might be good if you can find a way to leave your tank fishless for 6 to 8 weeks to be sure. My fishes are suffering from itch too and for the time being, i'll just leave them in the tank and see how things go. Been feeding them with garlic soaked food and hrmz, cant say if it really works yet. An UV light would help abit too. Gd luck.

soak the pellets in garlic juice?

soak the pellets in garlic juice?

Yup....soak your mysis/brine shrimps overnight with garlic juice, pellets don't have to soak so long, an hr or 2 would prob be enough, they absorb it very fast.

Question .. did you just buy new fish ??

was there any new addition within the last week or so ??

If there's none .. then something in your water is causing the stress spots

correct that something before you decide it's Ich..

about 2 months ago .. I stopped changing water for a Remote DSB I was testing .. NO3 shot up 100ppm within 1 week .. all fish kenna whitish spots .. lost 1 brown 3 anthias .. but when the water stabilised .. everything went back normal .. had not had any white spots for the last 1.5 months

IMO if water condition is good chaging water will not help, in fact it may stress the fish further. Soak food in garlic to up their fight against ich. Good luck bro.
