powder blue

He guys, when it comes to quarantining tangs…I know they’re likely to get ich.. is it good to quarantine them off the bat with copper? Or any other meds? Or wait until you see something. This is a powder blue tang specifically I’m talking about …20 gal long glass bottom quarantine tank. Thanks!

Came home from work today and noticed my powder blue was swimming odd. His front seems to be a little lower than his tail. Google led me to believe swim bladder. So I’m looking for some to confirm and tell me how to fix it. Or if it’s just normal swimming.

Was wondering if someone could tell me if my powder blue tang has swim bladder disease or just like to swim funny. The fish is still eating really good and still controls the tank. I’ve just noticed today that he seems to be tipping forward when he swims and looks odd. What can i also do to...

Hey Everyone, So I picked up a large and healthy powder blue tang from a store who recently acquired him due to someone shutting down their tank. I picked him up literally the day after he got to the store. I typically feed mysis and lrs chunky to my tank, the powder blue had no interest in...

I’ve had this PBT for a week now, proactively treated with prazi first (for 5 days) did a 50% WC and started copper power. Raised copper to 2.5 over the coarse of 48hrs. Found it lying on the bottom of the tank this morning barely moving. Did a freshwater dip and it sadly passed. Can anyone tell...

New Powder Blue in from qt from a tank breakdown along with new rock structure and corals in place. Let me know what you think and questions you have. Also go subscribe to the youtube!

PBT has been scratching, and the grouping is weirdly close together. What are you all thinking? Ich?

Hello everyone, I started on this journey about 6 months ago. I was looking into starting a smaller tank but came across this tank at one of my LFS's prior to the official release of the mariner. Ended up snagging it that day and dove head first into the hobby. I wanted to post some day 1 versus...

Hey Reefers, I recently started a Red Sea Reefer 250 tank! I’m currently 4 months in and things are slowly settling in with the nitrates and fishes are comfy! I had a question about Kessil lighting and what settings I should run. Ever since I got the Kessil light there has been excessive algae...

This is going to be a multi-part question... My husband went to our LFS a couple of weeks ago and brought home a powder blue and a powder brown tang.. The powder blue is a little smaller than the brown. The LFS owner had told him that she had never had any issues with the two together as long...

I’m taking the tank down. I’ve had the tangs ranging from 2-4 years now. All get along great with each other and look perfect. All fish have been properly quarantined before introduced into the system. I’m hopeing to find one home for them all. I know that’s not the easiest. Im located in the...

Hey Guys, so I have a general question with Tangs, so I currently have a 120 gal tank, I put in a Purple Tang and a Blue Tang at the same time maybe about 2-3 weeks ago, I was wondering if it was too late to put in a Powder Blue tang into the mix, I’ve had tangs before like Mimic Tangs...

I purchased a PBT about a month ago. He was initially in quarantine in a 20g long because that's what I had available. I quickly realized that was way too small for him and upgraded to a 55g quarantine. He's been in copper for about 3 weeks. One morning he was laying on his side and breathing...

Powder blue is attacking the brown what should I do?

Hello all! I think I know the answer to this,.. BUT! Years ago, back in the 2000's when I first got into this hobby many places would recommend a minimum of a 55 gallon for a powder blue. I had one in my 180 SPS reef for years, and it is my favorite fish ever. These days I only have a 75G...
