Petco rescue, two tangs

[Frtdrmrose7]

Here she is tonight, I went ahead and changed out 10 gallons before her meds this time to get ahead of the ammonia. I swear I'm not posting the same pic over and over, that's her favorite pipe to hide in lol

She looks so much better!

She looks so much better!

She's doing amazingly well! Should I continue the hypo for a full 30 days?

She hasn't been through copper yet, I think we're waiting to see if she still needs antibiotics after she's done with the methelyne blue, two more days will be 10 days. This is a good question @ngoodermuth, what should I be doing after the MB?

Ok, so maybe the “anti-prophylactic” thread is getting to me... but, I’m pretty certain that we would have known by now if she had velvet.

I think if you want to do 30 days in hypo, and then another 2-3 weeks of observation and good feedings... and if nothing shows by then you should be relatively safe.

If it were a wrasse or pretty much any other fish I’d probably still suggest copper prophylactically... but blue tangs are VERY good at showing signs of ich/velvet, so at this point I think I would be comfortable with the hypo treatment and observational QT.

That is completely up to you though :) If you’d prefer to do the copper we can walk you through it.

I don’t expect she will need antibiotics now. With the MB treatment and flukes finally gone, she looks pretty good. We can see how it goes without the MB though.

Thank you! I'll make sure to update you in 2 days when she's done with the MB. Should i do a 100% water change when it's time to end it?

 

[Mjrenz]

She's still looking good this morning and eating well,

Yes do a large WC to get the MB out

I haven't gotten it yet, Joe at Fish World said the guy hasn't dropped it off with him yet. Hopefully soon!

 

[MombasaLionfish]

I can't wait to see some pic of it.

I just took a video of her, she's hiding right now. She's breathing a little fast but still looking well! I'm getting ready to do another water change

 

[Dolelo96]

She looks good!

 

[Mjrenz]

She loves her Grindal Worms for breakfast!

I have some unfortunate news to share, Mr Yellow Tang passed away.

I did give him a 90 minute bath in fungus cure and started his antibiotics. He looked progressively worse throughout the night and was breathing heavy so I also gave him oxygen and kept an eye on him until about after 4am before going to bed. My wife and I just woke up and discovered him

I'm sorry for your loss and you did everything in your power to help as best as possible. Keep up the great work and your help doesn't go unnoticed. Losses are never good but you should keep your head up. :);)

Somebody is all done with MB! She's eating a snack right after being dropped in 100% new water.
