Pics of Blue today. He is very active and seems quite fat and happy.

Oh, forgot to mention: haven't found Mysid yet. Will purchase.

Thanks, AK and Beth and Saxman: Posted yesterday - dk where post went? - Temp down to 79 from 82, now. Will continue dropping? Do we think bacterial infection is over since Blue's tail has been back to it's usual yellow? Do we still need to drop to 75? - Feeding variety of frozen food along...

Thanks, Beth and Saxman: Hubby put thermostat down after pulling the plug the other day - no change. Will try again to get that temp going down. Got Omega Veggie Sheets. It's funny - I think Blue is scared of the clip with the Veggie Sheet in it. Haven't seen him going after it on the clip, but...

Have more stats: - General Hardness: 18 - Carbonate Hardness: 180 or 240? - pH: 7 - NO2: .5 - NO3: 160 Hubby bought some all-in-1 test strips for the above figures Saxman: Thanks, I'll start dropping the temp now. How long would you take to get to 75? As to the antibiotic; is it a dip? Unsure on...

Hello Beth: How big would a hospital tank have to be? Blue is 8" long at most - I think shorter. He is looking somewhat better this AM. He swam around and ate more than yesterday. He seems to be hanging out by my powerhead and also by a little filter where water flows in. My cleaner wrasse seems...

Nitrates: 20 I'll be doing some water change tomorrow.

Blue came out to see me this AM and again for a bit of breakfast briefly . . . resting again in cave. Besides being sick, he's probably lonesome for Jimmy, his little buddy Yellow Tang who just died from this disease.

Beth: Thanks; what do you call this bloody tail kind of disease? Have an appt this AM, so limited time. Blue's moving around in his "cave" where he sleeps. Really hope not to lose him - had him for soooooooooo long. - Salinity (which also translates to sg per measuring device): 1,025 -...

Wow! What a pic!

Blue's tail has a "bloody" appearance today. A little something going on on his forehead as well. Mostly concerned about tail. Sorry, he seems to be turning, so not best view of tail. Blue's been staying in his "cave" a lot today. Yellow tang had same thing yesterday - noticed it the night...
