Title says it all. I purchased a purple and yellow tang and put both in quarantine for 8 weeks. No spots on either fish for the 8 weeks. Feed them very well to fatten them up. Prior to putting them in the display, I ran a dip using safety stop. 40 mins for both the formalin and methylene blue solutions. Add them to a tank with a giant Sailfin (over a year old) and expected some fighting, but honestly wasn't too bad. When I added my foxface, it was chased much worst than the two tangs. I have a big tank so plenty of space for all the fish. 10 days later and I have ich on the purple tang (20 spots) and on the sailfin (10 spots) and looks like a spot or 2 on the yellow tang. Too much rock work to catch the fish. What did I do wrong? 8 week quarantine, and a safety stop dip and I still ended up with ich in the display. I don't like to stress a fish with copper / prazi unless it looks like there is illness.
I'm going to replace my UV bulbs, feed heavy, and if all else fails, dose with either H202 or copper. Anyone have any success dosing with h202?
Thanks
Tom
