[ickmagnet]

Hi,

I just purchased a powder blue tang from a fellow member yesterday and he appears to be doing very well. He is swimming around fine and is eating very well. He is being bullied a little bit by the boss of my tank (purple tang) but nothing serious- just the occassional posturing. While feeding them today, the powder blue actually snatched away some algae from the purple tang.

The only problem is that I took a good look at him today and noticed that he has some ick developing on his fins and on his body. It isn't out of control yet and was wondering if i should continue feeding him food with garlic. If so, how often should i feed it a day? Will it go away on its' own or is a hospital tank in order?

Like I said, it doesn't seem to be affecting him in any way.

Thanks
