So, I first noticed what I thought was ich on my purple tang several weeks ago. All fish seemed healthy, treated with Polyp lab medic, fed well, seemed to be fine. Fast forward a weeks, and my powder brown gets what I thought was velvet, but he survived nearly 2 weeks, looking bad and moving slow, but survived. Kole tang died, with similar symptoms, but appetite high the whole time. Powder blue died, same thing, eating well the whole way out. Then my 4 lyretail anthias died, one by one, all eating well until they were dead.
I've been told it isnt velvet because fish would die instantly and be gasping, which they are not. Not sure what it may be though. See below pics of yellow tang, desjardinii, purple, and naso. Foxface showing some signs of problem but not as bad as tangs.
Fish seeming to do well: tomini tang, leopard wrasse, flasher wrasse, longnose hawk, diamond goby.
If theres any more info I could provide, please let me know, but salinity, temp, etc all are right in line.
Thanks for any help. Thought it was velvet and was going to move forward with extraction and fallow period, but now unsure. Thanks to all.
