Rogues Tank Blog help thread (56k beware!)

BOTTOM is shells

 

I was having a difficult time identifying that Angel too.

The 2nd fish is a velvet damsel, they become aggressive.

 

The "blue fish" is an angelfish and it looks like a Blue Face Angel in the middle of its transformation from juvi. to adult. As for the black fish it is a blue velvet damselfish. The tank looks good, I would add more live or base rock. I would also remove a lot of the stuff in the filter, my filter consists of a filter sock and a protein skimmer in a sump(a refugium would be even better).

 

The angelfish is A Blueface Angelfish. It is in its changing stage, You can see the distinct markings on it that show it being so. Heres a picture of the adult and juvie.. Just compare ... Plus I own a Blueface Angel LOL

 

is my TANG OK ??!?!

 

The tang is either getting beat up by another fish in the tank, hence the torn fin. Or it has Fin rot, which is a bacterial issue. I used Melafix to heal up my Achille's Tang's dorsal fin when he had a run in with another fish of mine. Regardless, if you dont heal up the fish, its fin can eventually keep on getting worse looking. Ragged like and such.

 

would Melafix AAP11G Liquid Remedy 4oz be ok? or do i need more?

 

It looks more like it was being nipped at, I can't see any fin rot. That angel is going to get pretty big, you might want to keep that in mind.

 

i don't want the blue velvet does anyone else want it?

 

Thats it.

I prefer to have more on hand. With Melafix Your suppose to treat the tank for 7 days then do a 25% water change. Its 1 TSP (5ml) per 10g. I know the 8oz Treats my 120g, about 4 days. If your planning on ordering, check out:
