Emergency chevron tang!!

[Flounder's Reef]

Ny chevron tang isn't looking good any ideas maybe stung by the foxface?

 

[Flounder's Reef]

I've had this fish for 9 years #reedsquad

 

[littlefoxx]

He looks beat up! Has anything been bullying him?

 

[W31Olds]

What is his behavior like? Any scratching, flashing, rapid breathing, loss of appetite? Any new addtions to your Tank. This is not a sting. Looks likes Flukes.

 

[Flounder's Reef]

Thats what I thought but they all have been model citizens. I never see any fighting

 

[Flounder's Reef]

I see rapid breathing now but he had a mark on him at 2pm and it has become this in a few hours. No new additions and I have always qt with copper and prazi

Happening that fast leans to some sort of Bacterial Infection. The Cloudy eyes sometimes indicate Flukes. If you can I would setup a Hospital Tank and consider Metro.

I do have a qt running all the time but I didn't want to stress him out more than he is unless it's the right move to make.

Scratches and scrapes and possible damage to eye are noticed. What other fish are in tank?
This fish is likely a victim of aggression and should be isolated in another tank with fresh mixed seawater and air stone added and treat with seachem Neoplex sooner than later

If flukes i could does the whole tank?

It may the best chance for this fish

 

[Flounder's Reef]

There is a fox face Sailfin tang hippo tang dogface puffer couple of clowns 5 dart fish and a sand sifting goby

 

[Flounder's Reef]

He is in qt

 

[Flounder's Reef]

I have general cure and maracyn on hand

 

[Flounder's Reef]

Other side

I'd use the Maracyn. That's an awful lot of injuries. My Tangs usually get into a major Tiff when fighting displacing another over a favorite sleeping or hiding spot.

Sailfin is my suspect.

Maracyn will not heal this fish. May help with eyes and thats about it. Neoplex as stated is best bet.
