Do these fish look healthy?

[Conceyted]

I got these two tangs about 2 and a half weeks ago. THey have been in quarantine for the entire time I have had them. Both fish seem to exhibit healthy behavoir but the kole tang seens extra scared anytime anyone is near. The convict seems to have some small marks on his skin, but it almost looks like it is a part of him almost like "pores" in his skin. It definitely is not ich. it doesnt look like spots on him just into him. I dont think this is of any concern but I want to make sure. Also since I got them the kole has developed a small patch that is very hard to see. It looks like maybe a tiny hole in his skin? here is a closeup but as you can see, it is very hard to determine anything from it.

Let me know if you think any of this looks abnormal.

That was funny as hell.

I'm no expert but the first pic looks like just an injury. I would not worry about that mark if that was my fish. If you don't see it healing in a week or 2 then maybe it's time to start worrying.

Kole tang looks like an injury. Convict tang looks like a little HLLE. What size tank are these guys in?

Agree with Rendos.

Kole tang probably received a small cut from the other tang (I've seen this type of injury a few times with new tang introductions).

The convict looks like a bit of lateral line erosion.

Both should clear up with time and good nutrition. Assuming you've done any preventative treatments (ich?) that you plan to do, I see no reason to keep them out of the display.

I monitored them for ich and they have not shown ANY signs of disease. I am glad to hear that there is no reason to keep them out. In they go! Thank you much guys!

what kind of filteration are u keeping in the quarentine tank?

My Kole Tang gets little cuts and knicks like that from time to time. He usually heals up within a few days. Keep them well fed with a variety of foods and they should do fine.

just an update... the fish are doing great. the erosion is going away and the koles sores went away too thanks guys
