Since then I haven't seen it and I haven't even see any signs of it sifiting sand (i.e. sand being expelled in to...

    Bought a Pair of Gold Stripe Maroons. While in QT, the large died and the smaller was suffereing from Brooklynella (sp?). The small one recovered and while at the Reef Specialty shop, I bought a ROse Anenome and a small Gold Stripe Maroon. I added the anenome and 2 clowns to the main tank...

    Maroon dead, Mate looking bad.

    I'm starting to think that my QT tank is a death trap. I bought a pair of Golden Stripe Maroon Clowns. At the Reef Store, they were in a tank with a very aggressive Purple Tang that was chasing and nipping at them. Other than rippped fins, I bought the pair and took them home and put them in...

    Purple Tang: Pop-eye and bloated Beth: Please Advise

    Yeah, Beth. All the other fish are doing fine. I really hope no other fish has to go through that. But that's for all the help.

    Purple Tang: Pop-eye and bloated Beth: Please Advise

    Well that's a wrap boys and girls. The Purple Tang has snuffed it. Found him upside down again and this time it wasn't a false alarm. Examines his ventral opening and like I said , everything was just comming out. I think if he held on any longer he would have expolded. Thankd for the help...

    Purple Tang: Pop-eye and bloated Beth: Please Advise

    Yeah, the eyes have gone down a bit, but the stomach is getting worse. LIke I said in an earlier post, I can see where the opening actually connects to the pink mass. Only way I can describe it is it's stomach is comming out. I am torn about what to do. On the one hand I want to hop it's...

    Purple Tang: Pop-eye and bloated Beth: Please Advise

    Still getting worse. The tang is just bobbing along, still not eating (going on 6 days), either on it's side trying to swim and right itself or floating upside down with head flat on bottom of tank. I don't see how it's ever going to get it's insides back into it's body...

    Skid, The ich dissappeared from the blue hippo after only 1 day in hypo. By that I mean, while I was lowering the SG aver the 48 hour period, the ich dropped off. It has never returned on the hippo and it's skin is beautiful. This is only the begining of week three, so this comming Sunday...

    Purple Tang: Pop-eye and bloated Beth: Please Advise

    OKAY, I couldn't find anything def, everyone was undecided from 1 day to 1 week. So besides keeping it in a container with a heater and powerhead, how long should it sit?

    Purple Tang: Pop-eye and bloated Beth: Please Advise

    I don't think he's gonna make it, but he makes an effort everyday. I feel really aweful. The first sign I noticed was the popeye. Then I noticed, at th time, a small pishkish mass being pushed out of his body. LIke I said, I was monitoring all water parameters daily, then I couldn't for two...

    Purple Tang: Pop-eye and bloated Beth: Please Advise

    Beth, I am using a refractometer to measure salinity and specific gravity. It is at 1.009 sg. pH is normal at 8.2. The pink matter looks like internal lining of some sort, fed by blood vessels as they are present. I do not see any blood streaks, so I do not think there is any bleeding. The...

    Purple Tang: Pop-eye and bloated Beth: Please Advise

    Skid, While it is upright, the eyes arn't any better and it seems like the pink bubble is getting bigger or pushed out more. It's just so stressfull to see such a beaufiul specimin look so aweful. I just wish I had a diefinite answer that it was getting better, and I wish I could turn up...

    Beth, I hadn't begun making my own food, yet so it couldn't have been food poisoning. At the time I was feeding, Frozen Mysis, New Life Spectrum pellets, and marine flake on an alternating basis. Prior to this happeneing all the fish were in the 30 under hypo for only 2 weeks. I was checking...

    Purple Tang: Pop-eye and bloated Beth: Please Advise

    It's only been, 3 days since he's last eaten. The day before he became ill he ate normally. Then next day, boom. Illness. Skidmore, He's still upright. The swelling hasn't gone down and neither his eyes. But like you said, he's upright and moving around the tank. Beth, I when I feel the...

    Purple Tang: Pop-eye and bloated Beth: Please Advise

    It's not that the belly is distended, but it literally is it's stomach potruding from the ventral opening by which fecal matter passes. it's awful looking. On the bright side, it's 6:30am and it's in a corner right-side up-swimming around a bit, rather than upside down and nearly dead looking...
