NoobtoSalt Posted November 9, 2010 Author Share Posted November 9, 2010 sorry to hear about the loss' date=' keep an eye on things, could be a sign of velvet.[/quote'] He's been super healthy. Eats everytime was super fat (you saw him just a few weeks ago). Just sucks to loose an amazing fish that had a lot going for it. What signs do I need to look out for with Velvet? Is it similar in the way of ich the way it starts? When I got the fish out of the tank it didn't have any abnormal growths on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReeFit Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 its a nasty bug, it can attack their gills suffocating them. Some fish show external film on body but sometimes there are no signs, they just die and usually pretty fast. When i had it, i lost 5 fish in about 2-3 days once they started going it was quick. i threw the uv on the tank and it killed it pretty quickly.

I guess I will finally look into getting one. Oh yeah and my old saying still stands......STUPID TANGS!!!!!!!! This is why I never wanted to get another one. This tank cost a fraction of what that trigger did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReeFit Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 I think rose city had some cheap used ones in their bin back by the skimmers and food pellets that still had some life left on the bulb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have quite a few other fish in the tank. I just fed them and they all sucked the food right down like usual. I guess It's a waiting game.

ReeFit Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 dose extra garlic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoobtoSalt Posted November 9, 2010 Author Share Posted November 9, 2010 dose extra garlic. will do. should I feed them again tonight with garlic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReeFit Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 if you didn't feed to heavy it wouldn't hurt. otherwise i wouldn't sweat it. its only a preventative measure to help beef up their immune system. The new food i made has more vitamins in it this time. i made sure i put lots of vitamin C in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoobtoSalt Posted November 10, 2010 Author Share Posted November 10, 2010 Fed the tank tonight again with garlic. Everyone seems super healthy and happy like always. I will continue to keep an eye out for anything out of the ordinary. I wonder if it had something internal wrong with it? Who knows. Here is an updated pic of the Naso. It's started to color up and look happy in the tank since I got it last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoobtoSalt Posted November 16, 2010 Author Share Posted November 16, 2010 Nice job Jesse! What was wrong with it? I thought it was getting enough food from the clowns and it was rejecting any food I was giving it. I started to overfeed the tank and spot feed it and it took off. Almost back to normal now.

NoobtoSalt Posted December 16, 2010 Author Share Posted December 16, 2010 I have a lot of new pieces but these are just a few pictures of what I added to the tank today from Andy. I also picked up my order from OIAB today but didn't get any pictures of them before my lights went out. I stole these pictures from Andy's for sale thread for the time being but I will get some pictures of all of them in my tank in the next few days. All are open and happy! Thanks again.
