Looking for the best in tank cure /treatment other than a good diet to help my mimic tang overcome tube worms or black ich. Has big black dots around face. (Tang is swimming towards flow) is there anything I can put in food to help the internal parasites

It had ich but that went away. He’s in there with a kole tang as well . They’re in a 100g that’s minimally stocked so stress is low

Swimming towards flow can also be velvet. Please provide pcs and/or video under white lighting for best assessment

They’re both eating still. Is it worth stressing them out & pulling them out. & qt’ing every fish? Or should I just FW dip


I have a 40breeder they can all go in. There’s 2 tangs, 2 wrasses, 2 clowns, 2 anthias , & a goby. Not the best mix lol in a 3’ tank

FW dip and returning to the same tank will not work, the fish will just become reinfected.

Will 3ft qt tank for 6 weeks be a worse situation or better you think? I’m fine with catching the fish. Just wondering what is best for them

Can you run the whole tank in hyposalinity or does it have invertebrates in it?
