Well, my tang is very nervous but is getting bolder. Ate vigorously when I fed some food. Hasn't discovered the nori in the tank yet. Very pretty fish.
He is, quite unfortunately, quite covered head to fin in ick.
I do hope this clears quickly. I might be setting up a hospital tank. :x
I hope it's just shipping stress. :?
I seem to remember my yellow tang had ick too the first week. My current yellow tang (who is not my first), came from Deb's exquisite care and did not have ick whatsoever. It's been a while since I've had ick in my tanks (4 years). It cleared on its own that time, which is good, but also not so good because it means I honestly haven't a clue what to do now. Get some garlic extract, soak food in selcon or some such vitamin, and ... ? I guess I'll move my cleaners into this tank too, hopefully that could only help.
Anyone spot any cheap cleaner shrimp anywhere in town? Maybe I should pick up another pair.
