Sailfin with no Sail

[ivon1955]

Hey all,

I have a Sailfin Tang that is maybe 3" long on a good day that I bought over a year ago from a LFS that had very little of either of his upper or lower fins. He also had/still has HLLE, which he is recovering from. This tang is in remarkable health, fat, swims all the time, scavenges rocks, water parameters are good. I did do some research about pulling the carbon off my tank, which I did and have noticed some nice recovery on the HLLE, however what the heck is wrong with his fins, they still have not recovered? All of his other fins show no signs of anything! Again, I know I was wrong to purchase him from the LFS, that is a given, thought I could help him, so any info or help with getting this guy his sails back would be great!:thumbsup:

Nobody seems to know for sure what causes HLLE or how to successfully treat it.

But most of the threads I've seen where the fish made a full/partial recovery; the fish got daily doses of vitamin supplements (i.e. Selcon, Vita-chem, Zoecon) in his food.

Reading thru this thread might give you some inspiration. Be sure to also read the original thread.
