    Please post all of your parameters. Are you feeding the tang lots of vegetable matter?

    this is HLLE... you can treat it by:
    1. making sure it has lots of nori
    2. add garlic to food
    3. put pure vitamin C in your water... how big is your tank?

    Yes he eats veggies regularly, flake food, shrimp and silver sliders.
    Parameters and normal, 65g tank. Dip his veggies into minced garlic ? Pure vitamin C, where do I get that and what dosage ?

    you can put in at least 2000mg of pure vitamin C (from the pills at walmart) TWICE a day and it should heal up in a month or two
