i have a 3 inch yellow mimic tang. he had a bit of ich on him a few weeks ago so i quarentined him. after a while i felt that he was over the ich and let him back in my tank. these passed few days he's stopped eating. now he has a bowed or shrucken in stomach. he also looks like he is giving a strong effort to swim with primarily his pectoral fins as the rest of his body hangs at a bit of an angle. if this is an internal parisite(he has no visible parisites) then what should i use to treat it and what should i try to feed him?
 
I would go to your local health food store and buy some garlic extract liquid. Soak your seaweed food in it before feeding it to your tang. I would also soak all of your food in garlic for your other fish. I had the same problem and it helped my tangs!!!
Your fish also may have an interal disease, so i would use Melafix,which you can buy at your LFS; its an antibacterial that can go in your tank and is safe for all invertabraes.
