marinefish4life Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Hi guys, Recently (3 weeks ago) i brought 3 fish back from Auckland, 7cm still juvi orange shoulder tang, 6cm melnurus wrasse and a yellow head sandsifter. Everything was fine and eating until about saturday when the wrasse randomly dropped dead, i have uploaded a pic of the half dead wrasse (now dead) to try ID why it died. I then noticed brown markings on the tang and he began to start acting weird, like twitching and a little bit of itching, am now worried. The brown markings are where the gut is on a both sides and also around different parts of the body, they are disappearing and appearing though. But the tang isn't acting fine still. He's still eating, both nori and frozen mussel etc. Thinking about fresh waterdip. Any idea on what it could be? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrienne Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Knowing you are pretty experienced that you have already googled for suggestions I can't offer much in the way of links to read. Do the patches move around or do they disappear and re-appear in the same places. Parasites/being stung? Disagreement with something during the dark hours causing bruising?

kinnadian Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 He hasn't updated this post but did his NZMAS post http://www.nzmas.co.nz/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=14867. He tried a fresh water dip and the next day the fish died. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was found out to be an agressive bacterial infection, they were disppearing and moving etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
