Hi Ace

These fish need lots of current to be happy. they are very susceptible to Ick i have found that Kent RX P and Melafix work real well for Ick in my tangs. also what size tank is he in. I have a friend who has a powder blue tang that is 10 years old and the fish is very sensitive. seems to swim in powerhead with air turned on. If it is not running he gets Ick. I feed seaweed with Kent Extreme garlic soaked in. It is supposed to help the fish be immune to the disease so to speak. garlic cleanses the human body I guess it does the same in the fish
