only because they are not sure and don't want to give you advice that might cause further problems to your fish

what is the behaviour like of the two fish, are they eating normally ect

 

[alextheromanian]

Yes, I mentioned in the first post that they both are eating and acting normal, yet they look sick. I really have no idea what is causing them to look this way. As I said before, any imput would be great. I am suppose to be recieving vitachem in the mail tomorrow to put in the 29 gallon tank along with the 2 sick fish. I am hopeing this will do the trick, but as always I was looking for some imput. Also does anyone know if vitachem is safe for inverts? Considering it's only vitamens im sure it is??

That is HLLE head and lateral line erosion the cause isn't specifically known however it has been linked to stray voltage in your tank or possibly diet, some aquarist's have had luck treating it with vitamins .
Best of luck , Lee

The first one ( yellow tang ) has HLLE. In addition to what sassafrass said, water conditions may play a role in it.

So make sure it is getting plenty of greens, your water is as clean as possible, and even try to reduce stress.
