Fish In Qt

[brians4671]

well i have 5 fish in qt. all 2.5 inches long. 1 yellow tail damsel, 1 yellow striped damsel, 1 clown, 1 flame hawk, 1 flameback angel. ive had all for at least 4 months.

the flameback has been spacy if you will since hes been in qt. poor eating habits distant ecct. the sg is 1.009 params are ok. and ive notice the tail is spliting.

the ick was not a severe case by that i mean five spots max.

ps. there has been no signs of the ich since they have been in qt.

Tail splitting could mean a secondary infection, or he is in a tank with damsels so it may be the damsels harassing the flame back. Has there been any squabbles? A pic could help because there is a definite difference between a fish bite and infection. Also, just because there are no spots on the fish, doesn't mean that ich has been eliminated, it just means that it's either in the gills or it's in one of the other stages not being able to be seen.

well paulamrein the camera i have could not focus on a humpback whale. sorry i may be able to get my hands on a camera but in time.

no squabbles, yes he is in the tank with damsels but he has always been the intimidator.

when you say secondary infection there has been no signs before. and these are the same fish that have been together for months now.

color is fine and today he ate pretty good. ill work on getting a picture and will post asap.
