I posted this in another forum here on R2R but have not received help so I am posting here as well.
Hello,
I got a small(ish) Naso Tang about 3 days ago.
He's not eating. He's showing slight interest in food but not enough to actually eat. I have put nori all over the tank in the hopes he will eat some but no luck yet.
I have yellow tang, sailfin tang and scopia tang in same tank.
They have not bothered him too much. A little harassment at first but it was not bad or relentless. They don't pay him any attention now.
His fins look slightly rough.
His color is darker grey than it should be.
He really doesn't have the "deer white spots" that indicate stress.
He's swimming but not as strongly as he should. Getting blown off course too easily by the powerheads but he's not being blown all around the tank.
He may have a slight case of ich. I practice ich management instead of ich eradication so he's gonna have to get strong enough to fight it.
I have a 180gal display.
Tank is almost a year old and all other fish are fine.
Alk..........8.6
Cal.........425
Mag.......1338
Salt........35
Ph..........8
Temp.....77
Orp........310
Nitrate...10ppm
Phos.......0.03
Every now and then but not often enough, I have seen him go to the sand and pick at what I think might be food. Again, not nearly enough though.
I could use some advice please.
I have not lost a fish in years.
I have a very small 5.5gal tank that I am setting up now to act as a hospital tank if needed.
Thanks in advance.
