HarryPotter Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Beautiful, reef safe, and a very unusual fish. Does anyone have one or had one in the past? Thinking of getting one in a while, would like to hear some opinions Link to comment

Dramad1 Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Just ran into a pair of juveniles this past weekend, $180 a piece. Very cool fish but outta my price range atm. It's like the candy basslet or peppermint angel, very nice fish and I really want one, just don't want to pay the price tag. Cool Anthia, and reef safe, lot of cool color patterns as well. The ones I seen were white w/ green blotches and yellow find highlights aprox 2.5 - 3"@ shipwreck cove Link to comment

m@tt Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I had a pair of them, I just gave one back to the LFS due to his size. I still have a small one who does well in my 70 gallon. They are cool fish, eat anything and perch in strange positions. Link to comment

Thats what im reading, very easy going fish that will neither be aggressive nor picked on by clowns or similar sized fish Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted April 19, 2016 Author Share Posted April 19, 2016 $70 is a steal, I'd get em I might. The thing is my tang (JUST my tang) has had ich for a while now and it makes me super nervous. And no, my parents won't let me set up a quarantine. Link to comment
Cencalfishguy56 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I might. The thing is my tang (JUST my tang) has had ich for a while now and it makes me super nervous. And no, my parents won't let me set up a quarantine.damn tangs lol Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted April 19, 2016 Author Share Posted April 19, 2016 damn tangs lol I feel bad for it. Ich is getting worse over time. Can't return it to LFS to put in their copper system either. Euthanize? Ugh. Link to comment

JavaJacketOC Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I wouldn't add a new fish when you currently have ich. Even though your other fish may be able to fight it off at the moment that could change. The new anthia would be stressed from the move making it more susceptible to the Ich. Have you tried Polyp Lab Medic? Says it's reef safe (not sure how to tell if it is though) and if it's really just the yellow tang that is showing signs of it you might be able to help him overcome it. You'd probably still want to wait a couple months before adding anything though. Link to comment
ndrobey Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Get some plain yoghurt from the store, mix it with some tank water. Catch the fish and pour the yoghurt solution on the fish. Release the fish into the tank. The bacteria in the yoghurt will outcompete the ich in a couple of days. Link to comment

Halo_003 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 1. Buy fish, put in QT tank #1, treat as needed. 2. Move current fish from display to QT tank #2, treat as needed. 3. Let display stay fishless for 72 days minimum. 4. Move all fish from QTs to display again. 5. ???? 6. Profit! Screw parents, mine gave up and let me set up 2 QT tanks for TTM. I hate to say it but odds are against that tang without treatment. Would your parents let the family dog/cat walk around with a preventable but terminal illness? Most likely not. Link to comment
