| Yellow tang sick?
I will get a picture up as soon as posible but does someone have a picture of a yellow tang that is sick with ick?
I notice it has a white-ish stripe going horizontally across its body on both sides just about the mid point of the body. It dont act sick and the other fish are fine.

Hellow New2Me,
First off don't worry sounds like your Tang is fine  . All Yellow Sailfish Tangs have a stripe at about where there lateral line is. Mine has it and it appears white when the actinic lights in the tank first turn on. After a while it turns yellow, but is still noticable. Ich looks like white dots or specks that would be all over the tangs body. You would also notice a decreased appetite and would looked very laboured when swimming. | |

Thank you for the response I was a bit worried because I did not remember the marks until I came back from a week long vacation. My youngest brother was the only person I could find to take care of my pets and was not very "comfortable" with it. But I guess he actually did what he was asked AND cleaned up my house.

Most Tangs have a very prominent and visable lateral line.. Dont worry your fish is fine.
