Yellow Tangs and ich?

[marksgirl]

Hi!
I was wondering how prone yellow tangs are to ich? Are they as bad as the hippos? Or are they a little bit more hardy? Thanks!!

they more hardy then the tangs

yellow tangs are usually really tuff, if the water is right. its the "head & lateral line erosion" that they as well as other tangs get more often. in my experience all butterflies are more prone to ich. yellow tangs are the bomb though.

Tangs generally are prone to disease unless prvided with ideal environment. Size tank, water quality, food, and tank mates.

Do tangs have a tougher time with medications. I just treated my tank for ick, my angels and clowns are fine, but I lost my hippo and my yellow and sailfin aren't looking good/
