So I got a pre quarantined Flame Angle and a Mandarin a few weeks back and put them into my display tank. The two both got attacked by the other fish in my display tank, torn fins and beat up. I scoop them out to save them and put them in my spare tank. Last weekend the Flame got 2 elongated spots on it looked a little like a white fluke at least I thought so. The white elongated spots disappeared the next day and have not seen any issues until today.
So now I'm seeing two white dots... thinking its Ick?
So normally Id just do hyposalinity and move on no big deal but I have the Mandarin in there so what do I do with the Mandarin? Can the Mandarin take hyposalinity?
I think my options are:
1) Move the mandarin to a 2 gallon pico tank, I am growing my own Phyto and Pods so I can feed it in the little tank. Observe and hope for no ICK on the Mandarin to some day re introduce back into my main display
2) Do Hypo on the Flame to eventually get it re introduced back into my main display
3) Put a huge UV light pond light on the tank and hope for the best, feed well
Any other options I'm missing?
I will half to move my corals, chaeto and snail to a 5 gallon bucket for 3 months :-(
The mandarin seems fine the Flame paces at times on the glass on the right side of the tank pictures and video attached.
Suggestions please
