View Full Version : Question on fish in QT (white bloches, not flukes?)

I have an emperor angel, six bar angel, and gold rim tang all in a 40b QT tank. It is the only tank I had for QT and they need it bad, so I figured it will be better then nothing. My six bar and gold rim definitely have ich, but the emperor has white bloches/discoloration on him as well. I did a fresh water dip for 2+ minutes before adding them to the QT tank. I am going to slowly bring the SG down to 1.009 over the next few days, but I don't know if this will cure the white "bloches" on the emperor? I don't think it is flukes because I didn't see any come off during the freshwater dip, any suggestions? I've been told to get nitrofurazone to cure the emperor, which kills bacterial infections? Suggestions? Thanks.

Is a pic possible?
How is your emperor behaving? Eating well? Swimming? Acting like a normal healthy fish?

I posted another thread about the fish

He is swimming fine, still eating, acting pretty normal. He was constantly getting cleaned by the cleaner shrimp, unless he saw me, then he was out begging for food. Now that he is in QT, he's just kinda moping around, sometimes chases the six bar, but he really isn't too aggressive. The gold rim tang isn't coming out of his pvc pipe, but he is still swimming in it. I have to start lowering the SG, so I can cure the ich, but if there is another treatment I should do first to cure the emperor, I'll do that, then hypo, not both since that would be too much for the fish. Here are some pics of the emperor, any help is greatly appreciated!
