Hes doing a heck of alot better since i did a fw dip. Me personally, I dont think its stress, I think its a parasite that when stressed the fish cant fight it off. I think that if they werent stressed, they could possibly fight it off better but they would still have it from what i have read. Since the FW dip the Lionfish is doing WAY better, he started eating and moving around alot more. He stopped eating so the fw dip was my best bet and I felt I did the right thing. The ich on the Tang is down to just a few spots and hasnt hit like that since. I think they are finally fighting it off. Ill keep you guys posted.
