I purchased a beautiful blue hippo tang about 2 weeks ago. He has been in a barebottom well cycled 50 gal quarantine tank. All water parameters are good
After about 1 week he came down with a very heavy coating of ICH! I stared hypo and he has been down at 1.009 for the last 4 days. It looks like most of the ICH has fallen off but he is scratching like mad. So much so that it looks like his skin is flaking off. Could this be a side effect of the ich coming off or am I looking at another problem?
Otherwise he is still eating good and seems to be breathing ok.
Please Help
