My Kole Tang is looking pretty sad also. His eyes are foggy, and has quite a bit of ick on his face. It's not looking to good at this point. ... maineaquaria.com/thread/3375/lookingWhat made you ignore this thread and get a Tang anyway? I can't say that I'm any better, I went with a juvenile Kole Tang in my 57g (knowing better) and that was just about as successful as yours but I have a 150g total water volume system...not that it helped any. Poka, Your right it was pretty stupid of me I know. My thoughts were buy a juvy Tang and keep it a while in this tank, knowing that I want a larger tank soon.
May I ask what your experience was? What happened? Did yours live? Mine is looking a little better today, still eating good. I have my fingers crossed.

Kole Tangs are caught in not so nice manners in some parts of the world look into it some time and you will know if you bought one or not so don't be down if you loose this one I lost one did some research and have watched at least 3 die at the lfs the same way now they don't order them anymore don't now how long you have had this one but I wouldn't recommend this fish in anything less then a 125 they need swimming room

Nope, kicked the bucket after a few weeks. Problem is that Tangs are very prone to Ich and when introduced to a small tank they stress easily which lowers their immune system. Once the infection gets ahold of that fish the population of parasites quickly becomes too great for most if any of the fish to fight off. Like I stated earlier, in my opinion once you have a large outbreak I don't think it will go away on its own. |

Jason, know I didn't. Not positive it was ick.
I guess the mass killing is over for now. I have three fish that lived. Two Firefish, One Blue Chromis they seem to been fine it's been maybe two weeks now that the last fish (Chromis) died.
What can I do know as far as making sure it's over for now? How long would you wait before adding a few Clowns back to the tank.

It's all depends on what it was for a parasite or disease? You should always try to remember to take pic. I know when times are hard it can be hard to think, oh I should take pictures of my sick and dying fish! But the can be important and very helpful. Did you take any pics at all? |
