brown tang problems

[rcreef]

It all starts when i get tangs.

When ever i just have other fish that are not in the tang family my tank is all good healthy and running great but every time i introduce a tang into it its good for 2 or 3 weeks then it gets white spots any idea why this is.

I have moon wrasse, fire fish, black clown

I introduce a brown tang 2 weeks ago and it was eating really good but know it just has white spots all over the body please help.....

Tangs are ich magnets. If your other fish werent QTd prior to dT introduction they may be carrying ich. Given that tangs are susceptible to ich, those are the spots youre seeing.

Google Adrock and use the ich recipe he sells. Its good stuff

Is it the powder brown tang? Those are the worst along with achilles and blues

Ya powder browns are ich magnets. And can be really territorial compared to other tangs

They are all territorial! Lol powder blues, purple, yellow, white cheeks, sailfin, lieutenant tang, sohal?? Lol the only chill one I know is the vlamingi and Naso.

What are your temp swings like. I seem to find that when my temp swing like crazy my tangs show signs of stress.
