Well id talk more but i got to bail:/ have to be at work in 20min... Ill check back later for if anyone has any more ideas to help my little dude...
He has mysis, little iodine, and i even threw in some plankton to see if he wants that as well... ill give updates as it goes.

Thanks everyone in advance,

good luck buddy, i hope he pulls through for ya!
i would turn off the powerheads while u feed him so the food stays right in front of him

Good luck. Sounds like everybody else was here first.
Be careful with the iodine. It is easy to overdose the tank but it should help him molt.

Thanks guys, ill keep you updated. I think he might have grabbed some of the mysis shrimp when i target fed him, and ill be sure to turn down the return pump to lighten up the flow.

Day 2,

He still is hanging in there, tried target feeding him again with mysis shrimp soaked in a little garlic to entice him. He is just hanging in a nook in the rock, and he is still alive because he moves his back fins some times to move a cm or two.

Will keep updated on further trumps.

i got my fingers crossed for him.

i really like it when human beings get a grasp that all life is valuable, and worth fighting for.

you're acting accordingly. props!

Karma for caring for him. I hop the best for you and Mr.Bojangles.

Heliux · 08-08-2008, 01:16 AM

Thanks guys, its just i spend hours and hours picking out what fish i want. And when i pick one he is part of my family now so ya... really hard to not give it my all to make him better... hope you understand the feeling:/

Day 3, still remains at a stand still but looks like he is trying to move around a little with his back flippers. Also fed him so of my home made mush and i think he got a hold on some so thats good. Just keeping my fingers crossed. And i might try to find my Tang a new home because my tank is not going to work for him and idk if i can treat his ich/velvet... and i want him to have the best treatment possible... i love my tang but if he dies because i couldnt do anything im going to be destroyed...

sambrinar · 08-09-2008, 07:46 PM

That has to be one of the saddest sites I have ever seen, very pathetic, poor lil thing. Hope he make it, even though those shrimp creep me out, too much like spiders, but I wouldn't squish one

thanks for the updates, I'm watching

celts · 08-09-2008, 10:04 PM

good luck with bojangles! hope he hangs in there!
i wish everyone could care about their livestock as much as u do

Heliux · 08-10-2008, 12:37 AM

Lol i try so hard to care for every fish that comes my way. I get attached REALLY easily.

Heliux · 08-10-2008, 01:36 AM

Debating on putting mr. bojangles back into my display tank so that i can put my tang and hawkfish into my nano for treatment. But afraid that the hermit crabs, urchins ect... will naw at him... Think they will? Should i just put him in my refuge/sump or is that not the best idea? need help please, my head hurts and i feel im not doing enough for my little guy.
