Achilles tang

[mvm]

Finished TTM and have him in QT. his upper tooth seems to show more than normal, as if his lip is receded. It hasn't gotten any worse, but not improved either. I used prazi during TTM, FYI. I have added kanaplex for bacterial. Any thoughts? I'll try to get a picture tomorrow.

Could be mouth rot (bacterial); post some pics if you can.

Thanks what I want thinking. Pics tomorrow. It looks clean. Kanaplex?

 

[Humblefish]

Kanaplex?

Yes; although I would add Furan-2 and Metro to the mix if you don't start seeing improvement.

Ok, so the fish never got worse during TTM and now I'm treating with antibiotics. How long should I treat? It may take several weeks to see improvement and regrowth, correct? Fish eats like a pig and gained weight during TTM. I'm treating with furan-2. Have been since last post.

Just stopping in to say great job on properly caring for an acanthurus tang.

You wanna treat with antibiotics for 10 consecutive days, minimum.

That's the best I can do. Lol. Does it look receded or normal?

Are there any tiny white growths around or inside his mouth? I recently treated a Tomini Tang that had a Columnaris looking infection that looked like this:

Maybe. Currently in furan-2. Is that the correct course of action?

I tried Furan + Kanaplex + Metro and couldn't save that fish. I think the growths interfered with his ability to eat. And manual removal didn't work out worth a dang. Next time I would probably try Triple Sulfa Powder.
