Hello,
I have three tangs (hippo, yellow and kole) that have been in qt for 60 days. I was going to add them to my DT this week, but noticed by kole tang is developing a good size lump on his left side that runs vertically towards the back of him. I have been unsuccessful in getting a picture of it yet. So here is my dilemma, do I add the other two tangs to my DT and leave the kole in QT? Or does the kole have something that should keep them all in qt longer?
Thank you!
 
A lump doesn’t sound like something parasitic. You could maybe give the other two an antiseptic bath en route to DT (I use acriflavine, ruby reef rally is a good source and is very mild in my experience) to be safe.

If you’re able to get pictures of the lump that might be helpful. Have any of the fish received any treatments so far in QT?

They received the two part safety stop dip, then a round of prazipro and paraguard.
 
This is very odd. I went to take a photo this morning and the lump is gone! The mark on his skin is still there from where the lump was, but poof, gone! Huh????
 
Hard to say without a picture. Hopefully just a scrape, or maybe lymphocytis.

What are the ingredients in Paraguard?

When I do my tangs, I wanted to QT all 3 together. What size QT did you use? I want them small, and the DT will be a 105 gallons. Oh the 3 I want are yellow, purple, kole.
