Brown ich?
I just noticed my 20 year old yellow tang has a lot oh Brown ich like sports on him. Any ideas?
I added a flame angel from LA two months ago. Other fish have no spots. Two clowns, flame angel, and cream angel. |

Fyi the top fin has been like that for 15 years after gun rot. Doing a 50% water change as well. Then dose prazipro.

Read up on black ich.
I believe prazi does do the trick.

+1 black ich is actually a worm and prazipro will work for it. Typically associated with poor water quality

Thanks for the replies.
As an update. I dosed my main 75 gallon (20 gallon Sump) with 20 ml (5 ml per 20 gallons). I estimated the water volume to be 80 gallons but with all the LR and sand I expect it to be less than 80 gallons. I dosed last night. This morning there are a lot of white specks floating around in the water column but the Yellow tang is still covered by black specks (turbellarian). I'll keep you posted on the status. |
