Hoya I had the tang for two weeks in my qt tank today I saw the fish flashing and scratching obviously uncontrollable, when I looked closer I found that he has black dots on him like ground pepper very small almost not visible, I have never dealt with black ick has anyone used fluke solve before or can you recommend any other treatment please
