Yellow tang not eating.

[nicholasb]

My yellow tang has been with me for 4 years, and always eaten any frozen or live food. Has not eaten any thing for a week. I lost a naso tang (only had him for 2 months) a week ago, with no visible sign of ich/velvet. My kole tang (6 months) is eating well, as are all my small fish. Yellow tangs fins are not looking great, and possibly he is breathing quite fast. All fish in my tank were Q.T for 4 weeks, but that does not mean they were disease free. Added a cleaner shrimp a few weeks ago, from a mainly fish only system. Did not Q.T him so he might have brought in a parasite. Could it be flukes. I know a lot about ich/velvet, but nothing about flukes. Any ideas on how to treat him. Thanks. :sad2: Tank 150g.

Prazi pro for flukes. Works like a charm. You will want to treat him in qt if you have corals and inverts I believe.

Sounds like flukes to me too. There are some flukes going around that are Prazipro resistant and may take prolonged, multiple treatments to cure.
