Re: Blue Tang help!!

Id say you have gotten it narrowed down now. It does sound like lateral line. The spots or freckles people keep talking about are normal on regals. but are usually very fine speckles like glitter. so not usually noticable unless your looking for them. usually when a regal gets lateral line it starts with larger spots on the face and then moves down the back as if to follow the fishes spine. Usually a change in diet will help bring the fish out of it. but it isnt an overnight healing process. it takes time for the scars to go away. One key note to remember as far as the feeding goes. as long as hes eating he has a chance of survival. if he stops eating there isnt much you can do. there are a few suplaments out there that you can soak your food in that will add fatty acids and vitamens to the food. that is a good way to boost the healing process. Good luck and keep us posted

Re: Blue Tang help!!

He is deff eating, now he finishes the seaweed i give him in less than a day. He seems to love the purple seaweed as well as the mysis shrimp, and when i get a chance i'm going to try NORI soaked in vitamins.
