I was told this fish may be sick

[Shawn_epicurious]

I was just told my Blue Hippo Tang is sick and that I need to get him out of my tank. The video is short... and not the best quality... does he look sick to you?

I would need a still picture up close to verify. Thanks

Does this help?

This one may be better...

Man, looks healthy to me. Are you seeing any discoloration any where? Acting funny?

Can you turn up the whites and turn the blue down?

 

[Flippers4pups]

White or lighter coloration? Could be bacterial?

What are you feeding it?

I can’t see anything wrong with him... my LFS guy... Was delivering water and he made the comment. He said it had a spot on it... that I can see anywhere and that he could tell by the way it was moving one of its little side fins. Now I’m freaking out!

Wish I knew how to do what you are asking... it’s late evening here in Texas... my blue lights have taken over.

Well, if you can't turn off the blues and fire up the whites, try tomorrow when they are on. Post tomorrow.

The dry food and the frozen green cubes... I don’t see any discoloration on him

Need to feed some nori sheets.

Need to feed some nori sheets.

These can be picked up at most pet stores and even grocery stores that sell sushi. The grocery store option is cheaper, just make sure that it is only nori. None of that flavored stuff.
