I got this 3 1/2" Blue Hippo Tang from a pet store for $10 in hopes to curecit.
Thid is a picture of day 2 in treatment tank. There is a hole on the left sode gill flap and something nesr the eye. The hole has smooked out and doesnt look as raggid. Im using API SUPER ICK CURE liquid. Day two his breathing has slowed to normal. He is eating very well. He is activie and actuallu dominat over the other tangs in the tank. He became covered in ich on day two but it was gone day 3. The treatment is done in 2 days. Should i also treat for parasotes or is this more like hole in the head?

“Covered in ich” and then gone the next day usually = Marine Velvet Disease.

I would treat with copper + broad spectrum antibiotic like Kanaplex or Furan-2. Combining Kanaplex + Furan-2 + Metroplex would be ideal here.
