    blue tang with ich

    I have my copper set at just below 1ppm and the directions said 1 to 2ppm. So I went with the lower number out of fear.

    blue tang with ich

    Drain 10 gallon out of your main into qt so as not to further stress him out. Yes you will pull the ich into the qt but my lfs guy said no biggie the ich will be dead soon anyway.

    blue tang with ich

    They will fall off but only to return by larger numbers. If you read this board you will find that about 70% of the ich cases come from tangs starting it. And the blue stresses real easy.

    is this super ich?!!!

    They are mean little suckers and love to stress out tangs and other new fish.. I know the lfs always sayes get damsels to start the tank. Problem is you can never get them out. I have seen alot of people post about damsels stressing the other fish.
