WTT / WTG blue tang

[midniteguy]

Want to give or trade a sick blue tang yesterday. But it has white spots, I do have a spare tank to treat but I don't think it is big enough. ):

So giving it away to someone who knows how to treat it. Please really really take good care of it.

It is new from a LFS I got yesterday, did not shows any sign of white spot yesterday but was seen scratching itself on rocks. This morning the fish is seen with white spots. Fish is still actively swimming, has taken it out from my main tank currently.

Please please take it only if you know how to treat it.

Sms me straight at 91590795, do not pm for super fast response.

bro, you just start a tank if i am not wrong, you should go for more hardy fish like damsels, clown etc before you add tang as they are prone to ick. Once your tank get more stable, than you can add a blue tang in.

Maybe you shouldn't move it around.

Tang got ick when stressed. But will go off when settled down.

The more you move, the higher the % of killing it.

Feed him well.

Ick will really go away itself? O.O

don't stress it and make sure it is feeding and hopefully ick will goes away. I have a BT with ick when i first introduce to my tank, once it started feeding and more stable, ick goes away and i have been keeping it for more than 1 year and never never once i see ick on it.

If it is feeding, it should be ok. Feed soaked with garlic should do the trick.

Ya you have just started your system don't jump into stocking up your tank

And yes ich will go away check your water parameters as well as it might be stressing your fish, patience is a virtue bro!

Stock up real slow!!!!

[midniteguy]

Okies, will stop stocking my tank currently. Will ick spread? ):

Hope the blue tang will be fine. ): really hope so.

[vinccc2009]

most of the tank will have ick..it depend on the immune system of the fish.

good water quality, less stress, healthy food will keep ick away from your fishes.

I find that having a cleaner shrimp around does help with the ick. Once in a while, I'll see my fish park in front of my cleaner while it performs its cleaning service.

In fact, as I'm typing now, I see my cleaner shrimp cleaning up one of my domino that seems to have some white spots on the body.

[happyguy1682]

if i'm not wrong blue tang always have white spot

but after some times it will goes off

BUT>>>>>> will come back again haha.... on n off wan so not to worries bro

[bugattilambo]

Erm the cleaner shrimp doesn't actually take of the parasites on the fish? Maybe understanding the problem will help you get rid of it?

Sun tze art of war!! Hahha and go read up on fishes that are most easily getting ich? Such as Tangs are one of the top list?

[midniteguy]

ok sorry bro, blue tang is no longer up for grabs. the white spots vanish when i got home -.-lll willing to eat the pallets i fed.

...be careful dude...its white spots...the most diabolical disease after ebola...i had the same thing with my blue tang(with ich), competing with other fishes for food, had ich on and off for a few weeks. Throughout the day, the ich appeared then disappeared...i mean that lets say it has ich in the morning but then no ich in the evening...then doesnt mean the ich is gone...it came back and suddenly one day it stooped competing and the next day it died...that was a sad, sad time....

[Morpheous]

Agree... the white spots may come back again....

If there are no shrimps or corals.... I would approach hyposalinity...

Since u have a spare tank... its good practice to QT lifestocks before intro to display tank..
