I don’t know to help my Blue

Kamila89 · Aug 18, 2020

I got my Blue Hippo tang 4 days ago she was good but today I noticed that she has something on his body it’s no white is more little yellow white color on both sides and one eye is cloudy but no white cloudy is more like green hinted.(the spot looks darker in the pics)
Any advice? Parasites? What I should do? I need help

Can you quarantine? If I am looking at the picture right I believe it could be velvet? There's a handful of meds out there to treat this.

I am not an expert so hopefully someone who went through this will chime in soon.

I just noticed today I tried to putt her out off my 135 gallon but she was freaking out and I don’t want to stress her out and make her even more sick, she still active and is eating. I checked some pictures and doing some research and looks to me more as a parasite situation,hopefully I’m no wrong I started with Metroplex and Focus so will see. Thanks

Velvet or something else use prazipro. How old is the tank?, What else is in the tank?, Has he been eating?

It’s a 135 gallon 3 months old, all the water parameters are good(I checked this morning as soon I noticed the spots) she’s eating, active. The roommates are clown fish, yellow tang that is it.

Yellow Tang may be bothering it but it is unlikely because the yellow is a zebrasoma tang. Dose with prazipro and if you have qt tank I suggest you put the blue into that.
