i know from my experienced of some marine fish i've had in the past once it got to this situation where the fish is just floating at the bottom of my tank its pretty much at the end. Anyways, my naso tang end up not making it. it passed away within the 24hours after i noticed his swimming behavior(lazy, didnt had the energy to swim around). Changes i made before: i begin my freshwater dip. i completely understand i took the RISK of setting him into the freshwater dip (48hrs of dropping salinity to 0.09). Had 2 tang at the time in my QT powder brown tang. They were both catching the ich and hoping they can both recover from the ich after a week of waiting. Ich tend to get stronger the second wave from research i read so i tried to prevent that. before placing my Naso to my DT i had him in my QT (10g) 2.5 weeks later. He hardly ate anything i gave him (all type of dried seaweed: red,purple,green,brown= no bites). also i did give him pallets, frozen foods and still no nips or bites and just completely ignore it floating in front of his face. I've tried kent garlic, kent vitamin C, and a few other suppliments thats are known to be good for Tang. With that all said i was just curious to see if anyone out there knows any solution to this problem? i've solved the problem on how to get rid of ich, puffy eyes, Laterial disease but i cant tend to find a way to cure or revive them just floating at the bottom(i think its known as a gill disease). I understand that him not eating the food i gave him didnt help to come in the conclusion. I am sure he has been picking on my LR (1 LR) in the QT and also some on the sand and the glass (if there is any) otherwise he wouldnt had survived over 2weeks. tangs has been known to survive without completely eating for a good period of 7days (more or less), from what i researched. So anyways, thats the background history of what went on. My water condition is good-near perfect. im 80% sure that me starting my freshwater dip to my QT may had greatly caused naso tang to behave this way. Has anyone been succesful in curing this? please message me or email me since im VERY new to writing a Forum. I am not even sure if this will all go through. Hopefully! I just like to prepare myself in the future event if i end up coming across this once again. Btw the status of my powder brown tang: is doing very well in the freshwater dip. He is well fed from the start. he had no problem in eating. If anything he has been eating too much. is the only reason why i didnt move him to my DT because i assuming the left over food of the dried seaweed he would tear up was the only thing that might had been feeding the naso tang. by doing that my naso tang passed on the ich to my powder brown tang over time. here in a few weeks my powder tang will be ready to be transfer to my DT.
Please, i hope i get a reply from someone soon.
anyways i hope this all made sense to everyone who reads this forum? HAPPY REEFING EVERYONE
