I got burned here buying a PB Tang that ended up having ich. It scratched as soon as I let it out of the bag. I she swore her tank was 100 percent healthy, had this fish 8 months, no new additions etc. Tank has been fish less for 10 weeks, ended up sing 6 first including the tang. I did treat them for a month too but things got complicated and long story short it was not a happy ending.

Just so you know a tang can show no signs of ich in someones tank but from the stress of the move can cause ich to appear. Cant blame ich on the seller its the buyers responsibility to QT

I was about to say the same thing!:) And no I am not the seller of said PBT!
I actually lost mine to Sandy.:(

Why would anyone send money to someone they know nothing about? You some times get burned by friends, and even family!!! What do you think a total stranger will do.:Up_to_som

I doubt it never showed any signs of ich for eight months and then scratched as soon as I released it after a careful move. So the ich was under its gills in her tank for months but didn't make him scratch but as soon as he switched tanks he suddenly felt the ich? I doubt it.
