I recently transferred all my fish and coral over to my 66g up grade. I think I stressed my Yellow tank out and its got 2 small white spots, looks like ich (atleast what ive seen in freshwater, I've never dealt with MI). One spot is on the dorsal and one is on the tail fin. All other fish look fine and are eating and active.
I feed a variety of food soaked in zoecon and I add Kents trace to my tanks bi weekly. The tank is new, cycled with Dr. Tims one and only. Ammonia spiked then went back to zero after a few days. I probably should have waited long but my wife wasn't loving 2 tanks in the living room.
I have no spare tanks to QT unfortunately.
Do I need to QT the tang (or give it to someone that can) and treat? Or is my whole system screwed for the next 6 months, and all fish need to be QT and treated? Which I have no idea how I will without a cycled spare tank.
I've read some people state if you can distress the fish and load their diet with vitamins and immune system boosters that can overcome it. Is there any truth to this statement?
All fish were fine in my nano, including tang. the stress from the move is the only thing I can think of.
Thanks for any tips.
