	What exactly made you conclude this? I had my Tang develop red
streaking/blushing around the fins and extremeties this summer. My guess at the
time was that the water temperature was to blame, since the summer heat had been
pushing it up that week. As soon as the water temp. went down a bit, the red
started to disappear. I didn't add any medication or change anything (except I
suspect I did a water change of 10% or so, that being my standard response).
