Hi all,
Let me start by explaining my situation. I have what I believe to be marine velvet in my display when I was too naive to QT incoming fish. Well I've had my tank fallow for a month and a half now. I have two tangs, one orange spot goby, and two clowns separated into two tanks. The sailfin and goby have been treated for ick and velvet and show no signs or symptoms of stress or ick/velvet. However, I've treated the yellow tang and two clowns at the same time, but all three we're doing fine up until a couple of weeks ago when they started breathing hard and had white blotches on their skin and fins. My yellow tang gets worse. Im trying copper power but i feel its too harsh and he gets really red streaks on his face and fins. He sometimes wont eat for days. I do big water changes when i see this occur for 2 days and it seems to help. I'm also adding some paragard because i was under the impression that helped cure ick and flukes. Im just tired of dealing with this and scared because i might lose him. I already lost one tang in quarantine and it was heartbreaking. I added some pics to help. He swims around more frequently now. When it first started happening he would just hide. I checked the water no ammonia or nitrites. I do a weekly water change with fresh hyposalinity saltwater.
Thanks for your help!
