    My blue hippo tang had bumps and white stuff on him which I think is ick. He is rubbing on the sand and live rock. We did a fresh water dip on him and we are giving him something called amino acid in his food. He is not getting any better it is just getting worse. We have only had him for about 2 weeks now. We also got 2 fire shrimp because they guy at the pet store said that would help out also.
    Any suggestions? Thank you
