i inhereted 2 fish. sailfin and a blue tang. original owner lost interest in hobby after his job changed and time was limited. i purchased his tank and fish. originally i thought the fish were scarred because of lack of space in tank. even though it is a 220 gallon tank, previous owner had about 200 lbs of rock but very few large spaces for this fish to hide. after doing some research i think MHLLE is what they sufer from. ive spend most of the day today learning about it and what can cause it and although vague, i think the lack of attention is what hurt these guys. he rarely turned the lights on for them, no diverse diet, seldom water changes, skimmer was on but not producint skimmate.
my question after the long rant, has aanyone here had success in reversing some of the damages?
i plan on keeping these 2 with and a yellow in a 60 gallon tank with nothing but some hiding rocks. nice lighting, nice flow, good skimmer.
they dont look sick or show signs of ich. should i still medicate?
and finally and most important question, is this contagious?
thanks for any advise or comments. im going to do my best to bring these guys back to health.. they are survivors.
