Yellow tangs are in the display finally after treating with prazi and cooper power. Yellow tang has rips in fins today. I’m assuming it’s fighting? There are three. Or is it something bacterial? There was a white growth on my other yellow tang in the last two days that looks like fungus or lymph. I was considering what to do.

I’ll try to get a mouth pic of the other one. He looks to be eating but not gaining weight like the others.

I would recommend trying to spot feed them or separating the one that has the fin damage into QT and treat for bacterial infections if that is what you think it is and to try and spot feed the one that is not eating

Any discoloration around the tears? If not then it’s likely just an injury or due to fighting and as long as it stops it will heal on its own
