Hey guys so I’ve had my blue tang for about 6-7 months and today I’ve noticed ich on her. I just added a new flame angel in there and they haven’t been getting along the best it’s mostly the tang being the aggressor I’m getting my QT up and running as we speak question is do I take the angel or the tang out? I’ve heard both about the tang that it could stress it out even more and basically kill it by taking it out. The flame angel has his fins fraying now and I’m not sure if that’s due to them fighting and maybe the tang got him before that I didn’t see or if something bacterial is on him now.
I have 2 clownfish 1 foxface 1 lawnmower blenny and 1 long nose hawkfish in the tank with those two.
thank you!
 
I would just leave them in them where u got them. I had my blue Tang and royal grandma both got it when I added my yellow wrasse and i just raised the temp to 81 82. And made sure they kept eating. I read blue tangs get ick alot from stress idk how true. But all fish made it and haven't seen ick again. And the RG had it bad
 
Yeah it’s not to bad on her right now just a couple spots but I know it’s happening and kinda figured it would eventually getting a blue tang. But I’m going to at least take the flame angel out due to them not getting along to reduce the stress and hopefully his fins can recover

Yea I guess it wouldn't hurt if u got another tank and let the fin heal up. But my Tang picks on new fish to but just for couple days. Maybe get or diy a acclimation box. I been thinking about making one.
