Looks like your tang is starting to develop HLLE. Sometimes this is a result of dosing with copper. Best action is to make sure it has plenty of nori to munch upon. The purple color has the most vitamins. And feed only fresh or frozen foods dosed with Selcon. Is there are other behaviors of notice? Rapid breathing, hiding, loss of appetite, nosing into a powerhead?
Agree, just give the little fella some healthy feeding. Nori if you could, this is start of something that can be takin care of right away if it infact is lateral line disease
Yes, I just did a water change and I try to keep the salinity constant.I agree with HLLE but also may see some osmotic shock redness —something often seen in yellow tangs. You by chance do a water change recently or increase the salinity?
How soon prior to these photos did you do a water change? A small increase in salinity can leave yellow tangs with osmotic shock rednessYes, I just did a water change and I try to keep the salinity constant.
It was within the same day, but he still has these spots on him today.How soon prior to these photos did you do a water change? A small increase in salinity can leave yellow tangs with osmotic shock redness
It can take a week or so to go away. The HLLE won’t go away overnight, you’ll need to provide highly nutritious foods and good water quality. Adding selcon or another vitamin supplement to various strained frozen foods is how I accomplish this. Flakes don’t cut it, most pellets don’t either.It was within the same day, but he still has these spots on him today.
Not that I’ve noticed, no. I see his fins are kind of eroding or disappearing, particularly his pectoral fin (only 1)Other than the eye, are there any other symptoms or behaviors you have noticed?
