Help with our Sohal tang

[ipluu]

We woke up this morning and found there are many white patches on his body. Does anyone know what he is getting and the proper treatment?


Thanks

Can you give some tank info? Your stocking list? Water levels? How long have you had him?

Andrew,

Current Tanks: ELOS System 120(79G), Planet II 150x2 + 39x4, REA 120+, 2xVortech Pumps with WWD, TR20(1/3) Teco Chiller, SpectraPure Maxcap RO/DI.

All parameters are perfect.

Stock List: 2 clown fish, 2 cardinal, 2 fire fish, 1 blenny, 1 yellow tang, 1 power brown tank, and him.

We've been having all of these fish for about about a yr and they are doing great. We normally pet them and feed them everyday. He is the king in my tank and he normally like to bully other fish at feeding or petting time. He is now hiding in the cave most of the time but accepting food though.

Thanks

Though I am not 100% sure what causes the illness, you can look up the pics in this thread and decide if it's what your fish has.

If you think it's probably the case too, there are some good tips on http://216.168.47.67/cis-fishnet/seascope/99SS1601.htm. I used Nitrofurazone before and it worked well.

Hope it helps and good luck to your tang.

Steven,

Thank you very much for the info. I will try that therapy tomorrow.

Take care,
