boys, take the arguing back and forth to PM please.

I think a YT in a 46 is reasonable, although they are not what I'd call susceptible to disease. I had my YT for 8 years and it never got sick, even when it was in a 45g tank.
Sailfins in 33g tanks is pushing it, since they can grow much larger than a yellow.

Make sure the temp is stable, all water parameters are acceptable and feed a good selection of food, including garlic soaked nori and the YT should be fine.

So i should just throw him back into the main tank? Feed him garlic, soaked nori and that he shuld heel because it was worse but got much better and i mean MUCH better. He had ich everyber and now his got a bit on his belly and a few black spots.

Ich goes through cycles. If it looks like it has all gone then what it has done is dropped off to the substrate,rocks and corals and then comes back with a vengence. If you already have it out of the tank then treat it with hypo andbe done with it. Leave your main tank fishless for 6 weeks and all should be good. i would treat it if it is out already. Otherwise try and keep the diet good with garlic soaked foods if it is still in there.

The yellow tang is the only one with it. I hope. is ther any chemical i can add to the tank so the fish get a thiker slime coat?
