    I didn't notice anything around the gills but he might be breathing heavy.

    get him out of the tank and put him in quarantine....if the foxface died and looked similar then that might be your only chance...I know it's a pain but any fish in my opinion is worth saving. GOOD LUCK

    I didnt notice any white spots on the foxface but they behaved the same. They both just layed around and looked to breath heavy. At the moment the tang is still semi active he will swim from place to place then lay for a while, but hes no where near as active as he was. I gotta try to get a hold of another tank and try to seperate him. Any idea what those 2 spots are near his tail? Both spots are actually on both sides and the top side of his tail are looking mucusy(if thats a word).

    I went to the LFS and saw more naso tangs and noticed that the spots are supposed to be there but they were just discolored. The fish died a few days ago but I am still going to set up a small quarentine tank to try and rid the aquarium completely of ich and to put new fish I recieve into so this doesnt happen again. Do you think a 20 tall would be sufficient size? I'd prefer a 20 long but I can't get one under my tank without takin the center brace out and I really don't wanna do that.
