I recently acquired a baby yellow tang for my tank, but my purple tang has been exhibiting aggressive behavior towards it. It chases and bites the baby tang, prompting me to create a DIY acclimation tank. Additionally, I purchased a mirror to attach to the tank’s glass. Considering these factors, how long should I keep the baby tang separated from the purple tang?

I’ve been seeing signs of velvet on some of my fish so I got them in a QT and this is when I was cleaning it but I think it was trying to rub its mouth on stuff but does anybody know what those black spots are on its mouth and by its eye?

Poll. Do you quarantine your fish and corals?

I wanted to name drop https://notafeesh.com for those who want qt of fish or corals for them.

If you want to do yourself these are great protocols. I do not recommend most use formalin. It is not for beginners and is dangerous. https://notafeesh.com/blogs/blog/how-we-quarantine-fish

They are suppppper helpful and informative. But the quarantine procedures can save all the tank mates both your existing fish or new fish. And corals.

If you have questions I can help or get you the answers.

So poll. Do you qt fish? Corals? Inverts?

For those who don’t recall or didn’t see my earlier post, I rescued a purple tang from PETCO with full blown ich. I treated her with 14 days copper which was pretty rough on her as she ended up with HLLE going through treatment. Humble fish recommends 14 days post copper treatment in a copper free observation tank. Her 14 days is up on Tuesday. Her HLLE has improved being out of the copper but isn’t gone. How long does it typically take for HLLE to clear up? Will moving to the display help it clear up faster? I’m thinking it will so I’m anxious to get her in there but don’t want to rush the 14 days post treatment.

Rescued this foxface from PETCO (they were going to put him down so just gave him to me). He is quite emaciated, you can see his poor bones. He’s in quarantine right now. The past two days he’s gotten garlic soaked seaweed, flakes and frozen variety. He’s eating some but not much. Started prazi today in case he has internal parasites. Really wishing I could get him to eat more! Any suggestions are appreciated 😊
