Adding copper as a prevention method?
- Thread starter razec
- Start date
I think you have made the right decision razec. And like others have said I wouldn't go to that store again.
I remember going to a LFS around here & seeing a tankfull of emaciated green spotted puffers. It was right after my article on them had come out in that month's TFH mag. I told the guy working there, they needed to be treated for IPs. He said all their tanks were treated with copper. I tried to explain how bad that was & that fish need to be treated internally for IPs. I told him this info was in my article, which was probably on his shelf. He laughed, & walked away!

You should of grabbed the magazine with the artical in, rolled it up and then beat him repeatedly around the head with it till you got your point across
New developments with the yellow tang bought from the store
Yesterday 12/15/2007 I bought a yellow tang from that store.
As of 4:00PM CT I noticed that the yellow tang bought yesterday has black spots on this body.
Today in the morning when I turned on the lights he was almost white. The yellow color came back 5-10 minutes after the lights came on.
Is he already sick with black ich? Or this is something because of stress and will go away without any treatment?

The dark coloring is their night color. It also appears when they are very stressed. You may notice a thick white horizontal stripe when they are in their night color as well. The black spots, are these powder like spots? A general area of black/grey in the night time? Or dark blobs of color almost like ink?
LOL
I presume that the rolled magazine would be in the right hand.
I believe that a broken off Lone Star with the appropriate jagged edges held in the left hand slightly below his waist would be a tremendous catalytic agent in the reduction of the time required for his behavior modification.

I was hoping that wasn't the answer. It might be Black Ich: http://www.wetwebmedia.com/paravortexfaqs.htm
