I would go ahead and swap it out with the problems you had caint hurt and may help.

Glad to hear things are getting better. I dont know if i would of had the patience that you have shown over that last few months.

 

Hey buddy you said it was a juvenile ? just how juvenile is it ad does it seem to be interested in food ? Also did you treat the sjipping bag ? and was it thick and healthy looking ? If you get eathing it will be fine I'm sure the oddenium is not passed 8 weeks . Is what everything I have ever ben told was what it took to fade out from lack of a host .. I always go twelve .

 

It is probably 3"-4" long and I haven't tried to feed it anything yet, I have just been observing it and have seen it picking at rocks a couple times but not constantly yet like my previous tang or Foxface. What would you suggest I try feeding it first? I bought some Seachem copper treatment at the LFS and put a couple drops in the bag before they sealed it up. I think the guy there thought that was kinda weird, you could tell he had not had anyone do that before! It does look healthy, after I got him home I did notice a small peice out of his bottom fin but not a large one. So far he is swimming around good, has good color and no signs of ick or any other parasite. I went 12 weeks without any fish so hopefully it is long gone!!

 

Hope all works out man.. Got my fingers crossed for you..

 

+1 Good luck!

 

Thanks guys, a wise man once said sometimes it's better to be lucky then good, but I'd like to be both!!;D

 

Bryce what type tang is it ? I don't recall seeing that info ?

 

Mimic or Chocolate or whatever other name of a million choices you want to use lol

 

I just read through this thread, you got some bad algae. Looks like your doing everything right now. Hope it turns out well, keep your hopes up and persist.

 

If it wasn't for the friggin oonidium I would have been in the clear a while ago. The things we do for our tanks:!! 3 months without fish while staring at an algae farm... I think I deserve an award lol!!
