My yellow tang is dieing,not sure why.All my water paramaters are in check.I have had him about 3 weeks and hes been doing fine up untill today.He,s hanging around the powerhead struggling it looks like to stay alive.:(
 
sometimes fish catchers use cyanide to catch tangs which is very harmful to the fish and will often times kill it. it's possible this is one of those fish. any symtoms like spots, discoloration cloudy eyes, white specs?
 
He,s been eating quite well,algae sheets and mysis shrimp.Really no signs of disease,although he did have two little white spots on his tail fins,real small.
 
When you say struggling to stay alive, what is the fish doing exactly? Is he having a hard time keeping his balance?

Do you have a quarantine tank by any chance?
 
are its ribs showing? cloudy eye?

Two specs of ick wouldn't kill a fish, if it spreads all over then that would kill it.
