Bro I don't mean to be rude... if this is its current condition... you shouldn't pass it to someone else as the travel might weaken it further. Why not improve your tank condition?

If u sell this tang to others,his/her fishes might be infected with ich also.

But it should recover enventually.its much better than if its in my tank.that why like i said you have the confidence that you can take care of it then then you can have it...

its more like torn fins then ich eh.

Bro, no offense...offering to sell someone a fish infected with ich, so that he might introduce that into his system...

You're asking someone to pay you money to introduce ich into his clean system. 2 issues here.

1. I don't think you should be attempting to recover any money by selling this fish. If you really sincere in helping the fish recover, give it away. Someone needs to have a separate quaratine tank able to help you look after the fish.

2. I don't think anyone in his right mind would buy any fish infected with ich. This kind of thing can cause all your livestock to die. Again, a separate quaratine tank would be a good idea.

No offense here, just my humble opinion.

hyposalinity & copper helps and use furan for bacteria infection.

but u need a seperate tank for those since i see corals in ur tank. and do daily water change.

no doubt its alot of work but its just part of this hobby.

cheers and good luck.

Hi,

I'd try Triple Sulfaâ„¢ first in your tank, it maybe a start to cure your tang, I've been using it for a very long time and have had very good luck...

Sulfa-based antibacterial fish medication

ya i do have many corals.if dont have extra tank how.?can juz put in a small tank with air bubbles>can it suvive?

1. Buy a product which will bind/absorb/lock ammonia.

2. Stabilize your kH to minimize pH swings. Try to keep a kH of at least 8.

3. Feed a good quality food which contains garlic.

4. Get a gravel cleaner and siphon the tank bottom daily and replace the water with new saltwater.

5. Increase water flow if possible.

No point in treating it in a separate tank as the main tank is already infected. Just keep performing the above steps as it is less stressful on the fish.

KH is the ph and alkalinity in the tank rite?and what reduces ammonia??
