Tang not eating.

[itz frank]

Not really sure of what to make of this. I have a tang that is in QT with a black cap and a leopard wrasse.

I did CP treatment. No issues pest wise. I have no spots what so ever.

However, I did have a small bout with ammonia and finally got it under control. The tang seems to have a few red veins/marks and same with the leopard. Black cap doesn't have anything apparent.

I'm currently dosing Furan-2 in case of bacterial issue.

Problem is, everyone is eating except the tang. I've tried frozen mysis, Brine, cyclops, LRS, and live brine. I see him pick at things on the floor but don't ever see him actively eating. It's been two weeks. He doesn't seem to be losing weight and he definitely ate frozen mysis the first day in QT.

I've tried soaking food with selco.

Water changes are being performed about 30% daily now because of furan 2 directions.

SG was at 1.028. Working on bringing it down.

Where do I start? Fish's skin does seem a little wrinkly on top of the red lines. No scratching.

what about seaweed?

What type of tang do you have? Also as stated above, try some Nori. I would be careful dosing CP with that wrasse. There are several write up on here about wrasses being sensitive to CP. Are you dosing CP and Furan 2 at the same time?

What kind of Tang is it? During CP treatment my powder blue tang stopped eating. recovered when I moved him to a new tank.

I'd also try Triggerfish's suggestion.. nori (green seaweed strips).. if it doesn't touch it off a clip, try tying it down to a piece of PVC or rock so it doesn't flap. I wouldn't soak it in anything unless he still doesn't eat it.
