This is something that fish can easily recover from given some TLC. Be sure to provide the fish with algae sheets for grazing and a variety of high quality foods that are a combination of meaty and vegetarian foods. Feed at least 2x a day, in addition to offering algae sheets. Use zeocon with 1 meaty meal.
What are your water readings?

Cool, can you pick some of that up at just the local drug store?
I got a new pack a Marine Crusine SP? White spot is a lot smaller today. I don't know my current water levels but I can test later.
Thanks.

Algae sheets and zoecon are hobby related items. If you can't find it at your LFS, you can find load of it online. Zoecon is a supplement that all tangs should be taking.

Yeah, I don't think Walmart carry's algae sheets. Noob question, what is Zeocon, besides a supplyment, and how does it help tangs.

Thanks.

Are you being sarcastic

LOL.....you know exactly what I meant....
ZOECON:
Diets deficient in omega-3 fatty acids can promote head and lateral line erosion (HLLE) syndrome in freshwater and marine fishes.
Kent Marine Zoecon provides essential marine omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. Enriches foods for saltwater and freshwater fishes. Contains shark liver oil, which contains natural immune system stimulants. Zoecon is useful in raising fish and invertebrate larvae, as well as fortifying live food for juvenile and adult fishes and invertebrates. Phosphate and nitrate free, and contains no yeast or sugars!

Nope

Started reading at Omega-3... then say "promote" and was thinking "why are you recomending this?"

Sounds good, but whats the price?
