Hi everyone,
I have lost 3 fish in the past month (2 Stripped Blennies and and stripped goby). They would start getting really skinny and then would lay on the bottom with rapid breathing.
Now my Kole Tang appears to have caught whatever they had. I first noticed his fins looking frayed, so I thought it might be fin/tail rot. I’ve had been dosing KanaPlex/Focus in their food once a day for the past week, but doesn’t appear to be helping. The tang was still swimming around and eating until this morning. He is in rough shape and is laying on the sand. Also noticed some white stuff in his mouth.
Any thoughts on what this might be? All my parameters seem to be in check. 55 gal tank +15 sump, 1.5 years old. No fish aggression or new fish added in the past year. All fish quarantined before adding. Only additions in the past couple months have been snails and a coral bandit.
attached is a picture of the tang of that helps.
