Quick update on the fish. It seems as more of his dorsal fin is missing. When the lights come on I can take some more pictures. On the positive side he still eats like a pig and none of the other fish seem to have contracted the infection. It looks like it was the bristle tooth tang who bit him. So he will be taken to the local fish store along with the powder blue to eliminate any risk. Ultimately there were too many tangs in this tank. So all I’ll have left is two.

as bad as it is , it is your only option other than placing in n acclimation box for 2-3 weeks,

Ya, not the thing I wanted to do. However, I feel like it’s better than an acclimation box for an extended period. Not to mention he’s pushing 4 inches. So he wouldn’t have a whole lot of room . The local lfs has a lot more room.
