So I am the aquatics specialist at a petco in my area ( I know save the gasps). But I love my job because it allows me to do what I love 40 hours a week. But on October 12th I received a juvenile blue tang on a order as a push. Well she was a very sick fish and wasn't looking like she would make it through the night, but I couldn't handle just leaving such an amazing fish to just lay and die. So I decided to spend the outrageous price on this fish to try to save it. So here we are just over a month later and wanted to share the difference this fish has shared. It has made me fall in love with this hobby even more than ever and allow me lots of stories to tell people about sleepless nights worrying about a baby fish that should of never been shipped. But I am more thankful today and it finally made it's way out of QT and into my tank and is loving life and every minute of being here. I will add all of this was done with no treatments, just water change of QT every 3 days and good carbon. I have always been against cheap carbon and I will argue all day that it made a difference in this fish. No other additives was added to my QT setup nor was anything else done besides simple water changes and using good carbon in the HOB filter in the system. First picture was the day it came in and 2nd picture was taken after being added to my display earlier today. She still isn't fully healed but I feel comfortable enough to keep her in my display now to start building her immune system back up
