Hey guys, I've had a blue hippo tang for the past 5 years. She had ick about 4 years ago but I was able to nurse her back to health and she's been great ever since. The queen of the tank. Today however her swimming seems a bit lethargic and she rocks back and forth. She seems to be hiding more than typical and when the food comes out she eats but so much less than normal and much less aggressively.
- There are no spots on her.
- Her color seems unchanged.
- Only thing that could be different is she seems a bit thicker around the stomach area but that could be my imagination.
Parameters:
- 90 gallon system (65 gallon DT)
- 1.024 (I'm raising back to 1.025)
- 0 Nitrite
- 0 Nitrate
- 0 NH3
- 1350 Mg
- 360 Ca (a bit lower than normal)
- 8.7 Kh
- 78.0 degrees F
- 1 gallon auto water change per day
- Food is nori pellets from Hakari twice daily. Same schedule for the past 2 years.
So what have I changed recently? I bought a new tank and I've been slowing moving corals and some live rock to the new tank. 90% of the rock is still in there and about 20% of the corals. None of the fish have moved. She shares the tank with 2 clowns, 1 royal gramma and 1 malanurus wrasse. All other fish appear healthy and unchanged (knock on wood).
Any ideas???
Thanks!
