HELP HELP HELP with yellow tang

[bv_reefer]

man yellow tangs sure are susceptible to parisites, it's wierd too because his water is pretty good quality and as far as i know it eats a pretty balanced diet which is supposed to help fight off parasites..

Okay but the problem lies that it is in a 33 gallon. They are one of the more hardier tangs when it comes to disease but it is stressed from where it is living. You need to get it out and treat it and every other fish for the ich. The naso will be next i am affraid.

You have a sail fin tang in yours.

ya but my sailfin is 1/2 the size and healthy as heck, and eats 2 sheets of seaweed a day so whatever...lol

boys, take the arguing back and forth to PM please.

I think a YT in a 46 is reasonable, although they are not what I'd call susceptible to disease. I had my YT for 8 years and it never got sick, even when it was in a 45g tank.
Sailfins in 33g tanks is pushing it, since they can grow much larger than a yellow.

Make sure the temp is stable, all water parameters are acceptable and feed a good selection of food, including garlic soaked nori and the YT should be fine.
