Hello reefers! I need your help with an issue I’m having with my Vlamingi Tang.
When I came home yesterday, I noticed that my tang had two cloudy eyes, one almost fully cloudy, and the other, just barely starting to become cloudy. This issue isn’t new. The tang has always had a partially cloudy eye for the last year and it never got worse so I didn’t worry about it, but now it is starting to appear on the other eye. Also, a new issue, I noticed that two of its fins, it’s backfin and one of its front, is starting to deteriorate. Not sure if this is from fighting or from an infection. My fish are peaceful most of the time, I never see crazy aggression, and I observe my tank often.
I am confused because all my parameters are on point. I do weekly 15% water changes. My nitrate is at 5, phosphate below 0.03. Magnesium at 1350, calcium at 430. I have my fish on a good diet as I feed four different types of frozen food throughout the week as well as algae. I’m certain that there’s nothing that I’m doing to cause this fish to deteriorate. The fish is eating happily even with the issues. It’s always been a happy fish. So I am at the point where I want to pull it out to quarantine and medicate it. What can I do in this instance for medication?
