New Tang Looks Ill

[SeedlessOne]

Okay recieved an order today from a large online fish retailer and needless to say I am very upset. More on that later. I just turned my lights on to check out the fish for the first time. My yellow tang looks like crap. I just snapped a pic to show. Not sure of all the white stuff on his side around gills. Thanks a lot.

He looks stressed to me. If you just received him today, what you are currently seeing is probably just stress from shipping.

^^^^I agree^^^^^

This is very typical stress coloration that appears on many fish, YTs are especially known for it. I wouldn't worry at all----if the fish was in a QT. But that's a whole different problem.

Looks def like stress. Should be a lot better by the morning.

I cant exactly tell in the pic but may also be line disease..

You changed the pic since I posted, or am I just getting older?

And you know Im not going through ich crap again Tusk. Fish is in temp tank for observation before it goes into the 120. :rollface:
