help...PBT sick w/ dark spots

[slb11106]

i have two new fish (2 weeks old), a PBT and a purple tang. they are eating great (flake food, occasional frozen food and nori to pick at) and last night i saw that the PBT color was fading and this morning he had dark splotches all over him, i do not know what is going on but i dont like it.

all my perameters are perfect except phos is at .25 ( ipurchased phosban(sp) today and plan to start the process of eliminating that tonight for a couple days then do a 25% water change, could this be the problem

sounds like Black Spot Disease... fresh water dip, use formalin/copper/or garlic (which ever you like better), keep in QT tank... Hope that does it.

i will get a picture tonight and post

need to act before taking pictures if you are interested in saving the fish. I would do both since they are in the same tank and both new and pray the other fish don't catch it. use a trap while they are still eating or all is lost. blitz has the treatment right
