sick blue face

[ucdpike2001]

I recently recieved a blue face angel. His was in an agressive tank was getting his fins nipped at by 2 other fish. So now i put him in my 100g reef tank (w/ salfin tang, chromis, blue damsel, sixline wrasse, clown) but just the other day i noticed it look like a scale was starting to come up. So i placed him in a quarentine tank and treated him w/ K-myacin for 5 days. What else can i do to save him? Thanks

After being in the qt he still has some tatered fins but i assume it will take a while for it to grow back. My question are is K-myacin effecttive against fish tubclousis and what else can i do to improve his health. The water condidtions in the tank and are perfect. so i dont know waht else to do.

Why do you think the fish has tuberculous? Are the "frayed" fins ragged, or have you noticed some new grow developing indicating healing? Use a magnifying glass to take a good look at him to note healing or specific problem areas.
Is the fish eating, swmming normally?

After checking he does have some new fin growth. He is swimming & eating normaly but he still has the shedding scale on his side.

Good news. Add a good food supplement to the food, like zoecon.
