How about a larger tank then ? ... something about 6' long would give the tangs some swimming room and ease the confines for the rest of the fish.

Cheers

Dont get freaked out
 

:lol:
Well I think it's time for a new bigger tank. I love tangs too ,but i have a 280 gal in there i have :
Achillies tang
hippo tang
scopas tang
bangy cardinal
six line wrasse
basselett
2 coral beauties

i think if you love the tang at least look at a another tank to house the other ones.

just my thoughts

If you love something, set it free (or find it a better home) :razz:

thanks!
 

You guys are all great... and thanks so much for the warm welcome and all the advice. Im so glad I popped in here. as fer the Tangs Yes I will get a bigger tank... or maybe just sell them off so they arent so cramped *sigh* as for the clown Im going to administer some antibiotics in a quarantine tank and hope for the best. Melafix doesnt seem to be doing the trick. Again thanks everyone. Smiles

I was curious if there was any update? As Canadian_Man mentioned I have a similar thing going on in my tank. Unfortunately I haven't gone after this aggressively and now my female has very badly swollen lips. I've tried a freshwater dip but I don't think that's going to cut it. I guess I should look into setting up a hospital tank myself.

Doug, Brad, you guys use this melafix stuff with positive results?

Tony, I've never used it.
