Hi,
I’ve had a yellow tang in Qt for two weeks. At first it ate nori pellets like a pig. It’s been dropping weight and lost interest in food about a week ago. It’s very emaciated now. It’s been denying reef frenzy, fish eggs, nori.... I got it to eat a bit of mastic today. Skin and eyes are clear. Colors good. Breathing is very rapid and increasingly so. I took some slow motion close up vids of the gills. I don’t see anything obvious.
First round of prazi was four days ago because I thought maybe flukes. Second round should be now but due to its rapid breathing and emaciated state I’m worried about 02 and appetite suppression.
For what it’s worth, the LFS had maybe 50 in a tank they just got in and had on sale. Lots looked skinny, this one didn’t. I went back a week later and they were all gone. A teenager who worked there told me the whole lot died. She wasn’t sure from what, and said she wasn’t supposed to tell customers.
I think I’m going to lose this one, but I’m throwing it out there for ideas. Thx!
