Hey everyone,
I wondering what people's input was on taking on the project of a black tang that I saw at an LFS who needs some TLC...
I saw the tang last Thursday in a tank with a couple of passive fish (fairy wrasse and a firefish goby). He was about 3.5-4inches with some beat up fins and pretty apparent HLLE. The owner of the store told me he came in a few weeks ago and had mistakenly put him in a tank with a pair of large tomato clowns that laid down a beating before separating them. The fish was mislabeled as a Scopas Tang ($29.99)!
I have had lots of success with tangs in the past, and have a large enough system for him (5ft 125gal tank) that is free of other tangs or aggressive tankmates, and doesn't utilize activated carbon. So my question is what are people thoughts/experiences on healing or improving HLLE? Have there been some success stories, or would this be a losing battle? Thanks in advance for the input.
