Petco rescue, two tangs

[Mjrenz]

Are you sure that’s the same fish? Lol

Unless someone switched her out while I wasn't looking it is!

In the sec pic, our baby looks like she’s posing for the camera..with a smile on her face

Nightly update, she's still doing great! I still have her in hypo, she's doing much better with it since I started adding more kh buffer.

 

[BellaD]

Wow I can't believe that is the same fish. You have done such a great job. Goes to show what a huge difference a little TLC can do.

She's beautiful! What a transformation! On death's door to a happy little girl! Bravo!

 

[Mjrenz]

Here's a pic of her this morning, she was swimming around eating until she saw the phone. It's been a little while since I've said it, thank you everyone for all of your support!

Found these at Marine Depot. Anyone have experience with them? Posted this question in the medicine forum, but haven’t had a response. Thought I’d try here since we’ve definitely talked about most treatments available

@ngoodermuth, do you have any experience with these medications?

 

[SDK]

Looking good! I'm still keeping tabs...

Who'd of thought a little fish could capture so many hearts. Baby Dory you sure have, keep up the fight "girl", and thanks to your "dad" for all the hard work and caring.

 

[Mjrenz]

Baby Dory is looking great but I just saw some behavior that concerns me @ngoodermuth

 

[Dolelo96]

Is she still having problems?

I haven't seen her flashing any more so far, I only noticed it that one time when I took the video

She could just be testing out a new sleeping spot. Her swimming looked normal for a blue tang to me.

Hopefully that's all it is, she seemed to almost be playing in the current

Keep an eye on her, swimming into the flow and flashing can be a sign of velvet... but, it would be VERY difficult to believe that velvet has somehow been suppressed all this time.

Either way, if you notice the flashing becoming persistent (and that would be very “mild” flashing in the video. When I see fish with velvet, it’s like non-stop and very methodically targeting the gills) or if she starts breathing very rapidly, or obviously develops white spots... we might have to come up with a game plan to get her out of hypo and into copper.

But, I highly, highly doubt she has velvet. Velvet has a very fast life cycle and can multiply to very large numbers literally overnight so for it to be dormant for this long would be extremely unusual. Especially in a tang.

I think it’s more likely she just had an itch. Those fluke bites and the HLLE are probably still healing up and maybe a little itchy

 

[Dolelo96]

How’s baby doing?

 

[MombasaLionfish]

How is she doing?

Sorry I didn't post an update yesterday, it was a long day for me at work. She's seems to be doing quite well, I noticed that she was breathing a little faster but I also noticed that the water was getting a little cloudy. I changed out 5 gallons, added more biospira, and also stuck in a small 9w uv sterilizer that I had, the water cleared up and her breathing is normal again. I haven't seen any more flashing. She's hiding behind the sponge filter right now, I'll try to get a good pic later when it's dinner time
