Sick Yellow Tang

[shermars]

All -

I believe my Yellow Tang has black ick. It has black dots on its body and has not been very active lately. What is the best way to treat this? This is the first time I have been through this, so if you can explain in detail or direct me to a web site to read, that would be great.

Thank you.

Ahh i havent really seen anything about black ich. Is it anything like regular Ich? If it is there are some posts on the newbie and beginner questions and if not go to your lps and see if there are any parasite medications that would be good for a marine aquarium. I like mardels personally

althhough this is an emergency section you'd have much better luck posting it in the saltwater area, i don't think the salties come up here much and the treatment may be different
