yellow tang

[civickid]

what would cause a yellow tang to get red on his lips and gills. it kinda looked like blood but it was inside of his skin. He died from it but i love them so much. is it disease or what.

Stress, the beginnings of disease.

what can i do to cure it so that it doesnt happen to my other fish that i have in my tank. would stress kill all of my snails too

 

[beth]

Are you having a problem? What are your water readings??

 

[civickid]

AMMONIA 0
NITRITE 0
NITRATE 0
THOSE ARE THE ONLY TEST KITS I HAVE DO I NEED OTHERS IF SO WHICH ONES

 

[beth]

pH would also be a good test to keep track of.
You didn't say if you were having a problem with your other fish??

NO ITS JUST THAT ALL OF MY SNAILS DIED AND I WAS JUST WONDERING ABOUT THEM. WHAT KIND OF MEDICATION CAN I GET TO STOP THE STRESS IN MY TANK IF I HAVE ANY
