Thanks for the advice on what it could've been. Unfortunately the tang detoriated over night and was even worse when I came back from work (eyes were nearly popping out his head) - So I took the hard decision to humanely stop his suffering :(
Hi all
My Regal Tang has the following symptoms which I first noticed after a water change in the tank 2 days ago - No other fish are affected;
-White spot areas (not lots of small ones but a few white patches)
-Fins are rotting and loosing colour
-Pertruded eyes
-Rapid gill movements...
That happens with my cleaner shrimps (I have 2) - They get lucky with the gramma & regal tang for a second but usually swim away, however my clown will not have anything to do with them
Yeah I've read that too ... so I'm really pleased!
When I first added it to the tank he took residence in the regal tangs sleeping quarters ... he was soon chased out of there ... was pretty funny to watch. Hasn't been any disputes apart from that :)
Thanks for ur comments :)
So I'm guessing I need to buy some seperate moonlight lights then to run during the night? - are they the small LED kits that I've seen on eBay for sale?!
I've read that alot of cleaner shrimps stop cleaning as they just feed off the brine shrimp leftover by the fish and other critters - If its full theres no reason for it to go looking for more I suppose.
We had a new addition to the tank at the weekend ... a Royal Gramma, below is a snap a took of it earlier. He was a bit shy to begin with but has become alot more active and starting to stray away from his 'caves' more.
Well I've hammered the credit card again and bought some new lights for the tank, below are a couple of pictures and a question!
Setting it up was a bit tricky as my tank rim was too thick for the standard frame adapter so I had to by the large frame adapter from arcadia, even after...
From what I've read so far sounding like a good little setup.
I have just invested in a Arcadia Overtank Luminaire 4 x T5 lighting unit and while the frame adapters need a bit of work to fit my tank rim the results are cool ... I love the moonlighting effect - I will post some pictures later...
I have a Fuji Finepix S3000 and I cannot get a decent shot of the fish without the flash (and then it looks over exposed) - Thinking about changing it soon so any suggestions would be cool (maybe in another thread)
Managed to remove the majority of them by hand and it was pretty hard as my Regal Tang was constantly biting my hand lol.
I have noticed a couple more but they are too small to remove by hand without risk of bursting them.
Looking great as usual - nice sized clowns
Can I just ask one question ... what make/model of digital camera do you have, because the clarity of your pictures is very good!
