Help (sick yellow tang)

[madnessknight89]

So I woke up and hes just been between two rocks all morning. I also feed them to see if that would help but nothing has changed in the tank my parameters are all normal

What should I do?

Don't think he'll make it. Same thing happened to me two days ago with my naso tang. Found him like yours and was dead hours later. My parameters were normal as well. Not sure why he died. Good luck with your.!!

Yea I agree, thats the worst shape you want to see your fish in.

Temp maybe?. If its a new fish could be salinity shock? Some fish stores keep salinity real low. and if you use a swing arm instead of a salinity refractometer to test your salinity, yours can be really high. Just a thought.

What do you think is wrong with it? How long have you had it? Any white spots on it? Any red tint to it? Peruse through this link:

No white spots temp is 80 like normal and hes been in the tank for 2+ months... so I dont know

 

[madnessknight89]

Not looking good ar all

 

[Reefing Madness]

Oh, sorry bro. Looks really bad there.

Tank size and flow?

 

[madnessknight89]

40gb and plenty of flow

 

[madnessknight89]

You think a hospital tank and iodine would help?

Heres a pic so u can see the tank and pumps

 

[Reefing Madness]

Problem is, we have no idea what he's got at this point, so you'd have to generalize the meds.

Hospital tank and coppersafe. Best way to quickly cover all bases in a hurry. IMO Been here before and it was the only thing that saved mine but time is of the essance

 

[madnessknight89]

He died
