atlantic blue question

[bbreef240]

my atlantic blue has some kind of brownish blotching on his skin...anyone know what this is and how to get rid of it...i have tryed to remove him from my 450 gallon display but there is no way to do so without tearing the tank apart....

 

[Domboski]

Brian, is it not the scars he had when you got him from me?

 

[bbreef240]

you know what dom ...it might be....but it looks like brown patches ...two on his side and some towards his face.....other than that he eats and is active like normal...so are all my other fish...

 

[Domboski]

Well they shouldn't be brown. More like dark blotches or scrapes.

From the description of how your tank has been Brian it might be an internal infection. Sounds like Septicemia to me. Any Brown blotches from when you bought it from Dom should have cleared up and went away within the time you have had the fish.

Whats wrong with your tank B? Take your time with the fish. I told you you can bring whatever fish you want to my house to QT them even if you didn't buy it from me you know that. You guys worked so hard setting up, it pays to be a little more patient.

Dom...is the man. He is treating all my fish right and I didn't get them from him.
Never buying fish from anyone else again but him.

yeah dom is the guy ......

i would qt them but i cant get him out ...everyone else in the tank is doing better and better each day..its the atlantic blue that has the brown spots...i am doing what i can to help him out but if i have to tear down all my rocks to get him out im going to drain the tank and call it a day....i think it will be ok...i treated the tank with two reef safe bottles of stuff and i did a 100 gallon water change today.....i dont want to stress the fish out anymore ...im not worryed about the ich...it the atlantic i am watching but again he is still eating and active so my eye is on him....im not a fish killer i will do everything i can to help ....

 

[bbreef240]

dom is the man....no one wants there fish to get ich or a bacteria infection sometimes it just happens ...so you do what you can do for the fish and hope for the best ...i think everone will be ok....thank you dom for the offer...if i could get him out of my tank i would take you up on it....
