how do i cure tangs with white spots..

i believe you are talking bout ICH.

most pple would advise you of hypo treatment but i haven't had much success with it...

i believe good nutritious food is just as important.. feeding your tang with nori soaked in garlic guard seem to work for mine

you can also try UV, but do note that UV kills the good and bad bacteria in the water, and only works in one stage of the life cycle of the ICH.

i also have some cleaner shrimp in my tank that seem to help pick out the ICH on the tangs. there is a thread on the Disease treatment/parasite/pest control subforum dedicated to this.

good luck!

nori is seaweed lor. the one used to wrap sushi one?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nori

any type u can get from supermarket will do... it is more nutritious for the fish i think... since it originated from the sea. make sure u get those unsalted and un-fried (oil) one

mm... some pple would squeeze the garlic juice from garlic themselves... but i feel that's alot of work and messy. u can easily get seachem garlic guard or other garlic juice food supplement form LFS. somehow the ifsh really love the food that's soaked in garlic.

that's how i trained my yellow tang to feed on pellet.. haha initially it'll only eat nori.

wont the garlic smell the whole tank? :)

it might just alittle and will soon got skimmed out or had it disappeared by the carbon.

If a man could beat his own fantasy. Then to only breed in captivity. Then its pointless.

Genesis 1:20

And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
