    My powder brown has chronic ich, but it doesn't seem to affect him. He eats real good, looks good and seems completely relaxed. He'll get a few spots and then goes to see his lil' buddy the fire shrimp, so the shrimp fixes him right up and that's it.

    I'd recommend the yellow tang, very hardy but, as mentioned before, can get aggressive or try a kole(looking to get one myself). I think a naso could fit in your tank but they get pretty big.

    You just lost a tang in the last few days and are looking for a new one already? I would wait a while dude... Whatever caused your tang to die is still in your system. It could have been something other than ich. Take your time. Adding fish too fast has never done anything but cause problems. Very tempting, very problematic.
