After a few 10% water changes this week, Sunny is getting a lot better! Thanks for the advice and assistance!

Just finished 10% water change. Do you think this will begin to correct Sunny's condition? Should other treatment be taken?

What are your water readings? The readings are a little higher than I thought after testing water Monday. Ammonia: < 0.25mg/l Nitrates: 12.5mg/l Nitrites: < 0.3mg/l Ph: 8.0 Salinity: 1.020 We just did 10% water change last weekend after a 10% two weeks ago. *** I did notice something last week...

I have him in a 72 gallon right now. It is a FO tank that I want to covert to a reef, but that is a whole separate thread. Do you think the diet could be a cause of the lines? I wondered about feeding him so much shrimp, but he appears to love it with no impacts on his behavior or growth outside...

Originally Posted by lagatbezan ThreeNemos, I would recommend that you change the diet of your tang. tangs require mostly veggie diet. I would feed him more seaweed and greens like 70%-80% and less meaty food. I can see where that would make sense. All of this started when "Hawkeye" did not...

We have had the fish for three months.

Thanks for the help Beth. I will test water and post numbers tonight. Estimated feeding: 94% misis shrimp 4% brine 1% flake and pellet food 1% seaweed/algae(seaweed selects) We have a longnose hawkfish who eats the mysis, so Sunny eats it then too. He is in a 72gallon with only the hawkfish...

My tellow tang, Sunny, has what looks to be blood vessels that re becoming more visible and red below dorsal fin and on his tail. I am not sure what this is. He has been in the tank three months or so and has had these "lines and spots" for three weeks. Have any of you seen this? Do you know...

There is another thread on here with a 72 gallon bowfront owned by "iceemn360" and it is aweseome. Go check that one out... I have the same tank as well and I envy iceemn's set up.

Originally Posted by Speg Well did you try the cyclop-eeze or not? The fish passed away last night. The local fish store did not have cyclop-eeze. I found the cyclop-eeze on line and it was $30 to ship (had to be overnight) so I did not get it. Thanks again for your help.

It seems like he is even more past the food stage than ever. He is weak and just watching it go by, not interested. He never has been inerested in food for some reason.

You are right, he has been eating something... but I have not witnessed it and I was not worried (or tried not to worry) until I have started to notice him getting skinny. I will try this like you mention. Thanks for the input. Does anyone else have ideas or comments?

I have tried everything I can think of to get my clown to eat (false percula). He has - frozen Mysis - frozen enriched Brine - two kinds of pellets (large and small) - some flakes - emerald entree For the six weeks I have had him, I have never seen him actively eat, but he has maintained...

I just used it when starting up my 72 gallon. LFS swore by it so I added it. A week later I added one yellow tang, three clowns, and a hawkfish over the course of a week. Exactly one week later I lost a clown and had a high ammonia reading. After an immediate 20% water change I lost another...

How is this fish now? Better?

What do you feed your clowns? Mine will spit out flake food, watch pellets go by, and chew on mysis and spit it out. I do not see them ingesting a lot of food....

Has anyone ever used this? Have you heard of others who have? Success? Failure? Comments please.
