Hi Everyone,
I picked up this Fowleri Tang from a LFS. It was in very good condition and had been at this place for over a month without any problems. The LFS had the fish in Copper water for treatment. The fish was in QT for 2-3 weeks and no signs of problems. Once put in the display tank, the fish started to have signs of red blood spots or decaying lips. I was hoping if people had any ideas on what to do to try to help. All parameters are normal except for a reading of 5 nitrates with a Salifert. I am doing water changes to help bring this down more and have a Turf Scrubber running. No fish are showing signs of aggression towards him and he is a very strong eater. Everything I put in the tank he eats. I am feeding with mysis shrimp, algae, squid, clam, formula 1 and Formula Angel, plus dosing with zoe. His mouth seems to be getting better than last week and there are no other signs of the fish being sick or acting weird or unhealthy.
I would like to keep him in the DT as long as possible and if any medications are required, hopefully they would be DT compatible.
If you need a full size picture, PM me and I will get you one.
Thank you in advanced
