    Just saw this again..Its a bacterial problem with the cloudy eyes .. if you wanted to about your only shot would be to treat the system with a good broad spectrum antibiotic I use the Mardle line of Maracyins ..That is if he is still alive,, Maybe have been wild caught with cyanide ? Sorry I did not see this again sooner. :-[

    Thanks fort he post.

    He was fighting all night but it was to much for him. This morning he and my yellow eye tang were dead. My pigmy has ICH,

    But my clown and rusty angel have no signs of ich and are doing well.

    I lost 3 fish in 2 days I wish I new what happened?

    I just did a 20 gallon water change we'll see what happens.

    I'm treating with ICH-ATTACK right now.

    I'm just shoked that my tank went from Perfect to Horrible in 2 days, + I lost my favorite fish.

    But I love this Forum Just from joining yesterday I have learned a whole lot and everyone is so helpfull.

    Thanks to everyone for their advice!

    To 3Reef!!!


    Salutations! Glad to see you found way here! ;D

    You are right, that is not a very happy looking fish.

    Maybe stressed out by too much company in too small a place.

    Any chance of finding him a larger home? :-/

    Next fish you get when you get home add some copper treatment to the bags water and let it set in there while you acclimate it I have added the meds at the LFS when it was bagged about 20 drops per the average bag more of less and that will help with any parasites that may be on it.. If you go the quarantine tank route I don't for fish but if you do if you don't let them stay in there for 8 weeks you've done Little;e really may disease will take up to that long to even show up.. We've lost fish and will again ): Just keep on it you'll learn what to look out for with any fish disease its only experience that can teach you what it is and what to do. I took my own copper LOL And never add any of that copper treated water to your tank if you keep a reef or inverts ..

    Rusty angel, Pigmy Angel, Firefish, and a Maroone clown. is a good amount of fish in a 72G tank. I would hold off on any additional fish. Let the tank settle and mature a bit.

    Get your water levels steady.

    Sorry about your loss! :( Realistically, though, a naso needs some more room to swim. Being stressed out from the tank size probably did not help the cause. Upgrade time? :)
