Over the weekend I broke down the tank he was living in as I am upgrading my fish only which I will post more about later on. Unfortunately where the new tank is going and where the “old” tank was I could not keep the one up and running. Moved the fish into my QT set up for the mean time.
All fish have been in the system for 5 days now and noticed last night that the hogfish didn’t eat much, was eating fine the day before. Also noticed the day before he was loving the nori and ate a lot of it. Then tonight he is bloated right around his anus. The fish is having no issues swimming and controlling buoyancy, just not eating well and now quite bloated.
I have had the fish now for around 2 months and has been doing great.
Any idea?
water temp - 77
Nitrate - 9.9
Ammonia- 0
Phos- .09
