New Yellow Tang swimming along the back glass?

Subnautica · Sep 17, 2019

I just got a yellow tang along with other 2 anthias and a melanurus wrasse. The anthias and wrasse swam in front of the tank all the time, but the tang keeps swimming back in forth in the back. It's been doing that for 2 hours. Looks like it's lost or something. I fed the tank brine shrimp and the new fishes went nuts, but yellow tang only ate the pieces flowing close to his mouth.

Whats going on? Just stress?

It looks normal. Just give it time. Also, looks like not much for it to graze on.

Tangs are crazy they will do stuff like this over time. Let the fish settle in and the swimming behavior will change. But they can do crazy things

It could be stress and not knowing it's surroundings. Did you just put him into the tank? Did you treat him or do any QT?

From the video, it looks fine, just figuring out the tank, so just keep an eye on it to see how it's behavior changes in the coming days, if it doesn't do anything more worrying then that's a good sign
