i have a clown tang about 4" and i can't figure one problem . you will not believe what i am going to write here but this is the story...
first i am quarantine any fish i buy at least one month before i put him in the main display. i have this fish about 4 month and i notice that he have one spot (look like ich) in one fin , when i bought him i checked the sg and it was at 1.012 i reduce my sg in the QT and run hypo treatment with him (i do that because i want to be sure he don't have any ich) after the treatment i start to increase the SG and the fish look fine i never put attention to the small spot on his fin .when i saw that i start hypo again now this spot never gone and it's not Lymphocyctis . i thought that maybe it's problem with internal or bacterial infection or body fungus I have suspect that maybe it’s hlle to (i have ground prob), still when the fish in hypo treatment i try to treat this fish with (and you will not believe but this the real truth) : Maracyn-Two (didn't help), Metronidazole (didn't help) , melafix (didn't help), cupramine (didn't help) sano remedies (didn't help). some of those treatment was together if it was ich it was gone but this spot exist and the fish till now about 3 month in hypo (i treat a lot of fish in the past with hypo against ich and i success with that i treat to with cupramine and have good result to) i have more 4 tangs without any problem that i treat them before to .
i feed my fish 2 time a day with seaweeds and one time meaty food that i make .( most i use with krill , mysis shrimp,cyclop ) i mix all together and add to this : selcon,marine c,zoecon,garlic xtreme ,vita chem. i put all in the freezer and after 24 hour i have ready food to one month. with the seaweeds i do the same every time i feed the fish i add some drop from the vitamin each time other type .
i check my salinity with refractometer (sybon) ph level 8.1 all the time nitrite -0 nitrate - 0 amonia -0 every week 15-20% of water change i use ro/di.
the fish look great don't have any other problem less that one spot again it's look like ich but i never had problem like that before it is never explode or case of reinfect . i also try to do a freshwater deep but nothing.(i know it's not effect against ich but i try that to )
I attach here the picture of the fish you can see at the left fin very small white spot like that it about 3 month.(the first picture)
the second picture he look on you and want to know what do you think
I want to know if you have any idea what it’s can be , again even when I increase the sg the spot stay the same and there is no any other explode then that .
thanks
