Hello,
I have a single fish (sailfin tang juvenile) that is housed in a 100 gallon tank currently, soon to be upgraded in size. Tank has been running for 4 months, and only inverts are his roommates for now. No other fish and have only had this fish for 2 weeks. At the LFS he was an extremely active eater and has been for me as well until today. I woke up to him swimming at the surface very slowly, listing side to side, and breathing very heavily. His dorsal fin is depressed, however nothing is visible on him (yet) and his coloring is still vibrant. He no longer stays in his "apartment" and just sort of floats around per the current. Super depressing....
I increased water agitation and that did seem to help slightly, but still no interest in eating. I've tried pellets, red seaweed strips, and frozen brine. I've also removed carbon just in case. Any thoughts?
