Sailfin Tang Sick

[FRANK GRAZIANO]

I've had this sailfin tang about 6 months and Saturday I noticed it acting odd just staying in one spot and looking at sand. It was eating shrimp on Saturday no food Sunday and seaweed Monday and Tuesday. Went to feed shrimp today and it wouldn't eat and seems very week. I have a quarantine tank but don't want to stress it out even more I put some multivitamins in water hopefully that helps.
Salinity 1.024
Temp 78
Ph 8.3
Alk 11
N03 0
Po4 0
Ca 450
Mg 1350
Any ideas please help if u can

One more thing when the sailfin comes out I can see a light colored area it's not a hole but translucent. About the size of a pea.

I don't see anything obvious in the photo you've provided ...

Where is the "light colored area" on the fish? Can you get a photo of that? It's possible that's a bacterial infection . . .

@4FordFamily, @Big G or @HotRocks may have some insight to offer . . .

Thanks wish I knew what caused it and hope it dosen't get anymore fish but they all look healthy

That sucks, sorry it didn't make it. Did you add any new fish recently? It's possible it was an internal parasite or bacterial/viral issue.

No

sorry for your loss. Sucks when one can pinpoint a cause and get to try to do something for the fish.
