ok here it goes, just got new fish and didnt QT them, well long story short, the powder blue tang looked perfect when i got him in, neon goby and black cap looked poor and as i suspected it died the next day after entering my tank, neon goby recovered nicely and after 2 days found my other neon goby and will not leave its side hahaha
but anyways i put these fish in my DT, ive always expected my blue hippo of having ICK but its one of the here today gone tomorrow kind and i wasnt to worried about setting up a QT sence it doesnt seem to bother him at all, but now with the powder blue, and the blue hippo having it, im thinking about tearing down my DT and QTing all my fish for 6 weeks
the information im looking for is, i have a 20 gallon tank, a 25 gallon that used to be a sump, and a 100 gallon long tank not drilled, which should i use to QT???
i was thinking about putting in black dividers in the 100 gallon and dropping a tang in each division to keep them separated in the QTing process so they would be less stressed out, but i have a yellow tang he looks awesome no sign of ICK, sail fin looks great also no signs of ick on him either, but i wanted to tear down the tank and just QT them and do a HYPO on all the fish and leave the DT alone with no fish in it for awhile to kill the ICK off in the DT
another part, do you guys think a 7" yellow tang would be ok in a 25 gallon division for 6wk-2mo? thats what im really worried about, hes fine probably has ick but thats not the point i just want to rid my DT tank of ICK and after that never add another fish till im down to 3 or 4 and then i will QT every fish from then on out, and that way i would never move to fast with adding fish as the sound of QTing sounds like its a pain in my back side
input please, the powder blue is breaking out fast, like i said yesterday he looked fine and today he has a lot of spots on him and sliding against rocks, he doesnt use my cleaner shrimp or the neon gobys like the blue hippo dose and i think thats why the hippo has lasted as long as he has,
i have 5 tangs in my 135 gallon tank, i was thinking of putting the yellow eyed Cole and sail fin together in a division or do you guys think putting the powder blue and blue hippo in the same section would be the best bet? they are about the same size and the blue hippo doesnt seem to care about other tangs one bit
