Hey all:
I have a Yellow Tang that is acting lifeless today strangely. This tang dig suffer from white spot ich about 3 months ago when I got it, but it has been out of quarantine and back in my Reef tank for about a month and a half. It has been healthy and eating up until this morning when I came down to check my Percula Clown the 1 of 4 that survived the Reef solution incident that was being talked about yesterday, which seems to be doing well by the looks of it.
Anyways back on topic, I’ve checked this tang all over for white and black spot ich, the gills are looking good, well what I can see of them no HLLE either. Does anybody have any ideas what would cause this or what is causing this. I did transfer the fish out of my display and put it in my refuge just incase the worst happens. There is a Kole tang in the tank as well, but it is eating and looking 100% as of when I left to type this up. I have never seen any issues between the tangs so I don’t think its stress related issue between the two tangs.
My tank conditions as of 12pm are
Temp 79.8F
Salinity 1.024
Calcium 410ppm
Alkalinity 14Dkh little high but it’s been like that forever
Ph 8.2
Nitrite 0.0
Nitrate 15-18
Ammonia 0.0
If anybody has any ideas at this point any help would be greatly appreciated. There has been enough fish deaths in the past 3 days for me.
Thanks
Matt
