Sadly the Regal tang died! ???? We've done a 10% water change
We take our water to our local marine fish shop n they said all our levels were ok
We have a copperband butterfly in there too but it has some white spots on the tail Our 2 clownfish are ok up to now
We love this hobby but its getting expensive buying fish just to watch them die ????
White spots??? Does it look like salt crystals? Go to fish disease and treatments forum and look at the pictures of sick fish, and see if it matches what is going on in your tank.
A quarantine would be a real good idea to set up when you are stocking your tank, yep... it gets real expensive to keep purchasing fish that die. Purchasing from this site gives you a 14 day guarantee, worth it's weight in gold.
If you have the ich parasite, the display needs to be empty of fish for 8 weeks, never dose the display...remove the fish and treat them in a hospital tank, leave the display fishless for 8 weeks. If it's ich, don't buy anymore fish until you get the tank back up clean and ready, and use a quarantine tank to prevent future problems.
