The beauty is fat... and swimming perfectly fine.... BUT it appears that I may have had Ich in my tank because it has a few more white speckles than I feel is good. It had not one spot in the store so it must have been in my tank. I hope the combination of cleaner shrimp/garlic guard clean it up fast.

I am not 100% sure it is ich.... but I would guess it is possible.

Anyone know if Ich can sit in your tank and not bother the other fish? Or was it more than likely on the fish to begin with. None of the other fish have any spots.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

Could be brought on by the stress of being in a new tank and being chased by your tang. I think things will clear up soon after he settles in.

Why are people up at midnight on a Thursday night talking about fish tanks?

No it cannot, if you do indeed have ich, and you have not had it in the months leading up to your new addition, then you introduced it.

There is no dormant stage waiting for stress in fish to attack.

SO you are saying that it would have come on the new fish? The fish showed no signs at all in the store and then later in the evening i had tons.

I am of course, not even sure it is Ich... but it looks like it.

Assuming it is ich, and assuming that you have added nothing to your tank in the last couple months, then it would be safe to assume that it was imported by your new purchase.

I was wondering how your coral beauty was doing? Interested if she has started to get a taste of corals.

She is FANTASTIC!!! By far my favourite fish. I am glad to have added her!

Fat, Sassy and full of gusto! So far she has not touched any corals at all. I do, however, feed my tank well.

I have Lyretail Anthias so I installed a feeder. They get two feedings of NLS pellet and every second day they get mysis.

I don't think, THINK, he has any reason to eat anything else!
