Hi all,
Current tank and stocking:
Red Sea 350
- one spot foxface rabbitfish
- whitetail bristletooth tang
- longfin clownfish
- royal gramma
- bluethroat triggerfish
- starry blenny
- carpenter wrasse
We got the trigger, blenny and wrasse from Dr Reef back in early November. Some scuffles with the tang when added to the tank, but for the last 3 months they have all been great together. However we are now on day 3 of the triggerfish hiding - he used to be such a voracious swimmer and eater, occasionally he'd take a day to chill and hide in his rock structure but this seems a bit excessive for him. I have seen him move inside the rockwork, but can't vouch for him eating. The first day I was willing to say he was taking some time for himself, but we're on day 3 and I'm a little nervous as to where this is going.
The only change that has been made so far has been a 15 gallon water change on Sunday (5 days ago) where we changed our salt from Instant Ocean Reef Crystals to Tropic Marin Salt. Food remains the same - frozen mysis with garlic, some flakes, some pellets. No new additions to the tank since the fish in November. Would love some advice! All fish have come from Dr. Reef, so I am confident that no illness has been introduced to the tank, inverts come from a fishless system and we have maintained a quarantine protocol throughout our tank for the last 3 years.
