So here’s a funny story!

I have noticed my new Tomini tang only poops at the front left corner of the tank. He will eat and then head over to that area to drop a duce!

What is that? Lol

I thought fish just poop whenever not set up a toilet station. He did come from pet co so maybe in a small tank he had too, it was the rules.

Wow i never knew fish could do that. I know they tend to sleep always at the sam part of the tank, but pooping is taking it to another level lol

Not really, my Yellow Tang had a corner for a while in the upper left corner of my 90 gallon where he loved to do it. The gross part was he would eat his own poop afterwards. ;Yuck

Worse part was my poor coral beauty was often in the way and would get hit in the face with it. I can only imagine that his thought process was something like this:

That’s strange. Maybe he’s emptying his bowels before eating? Or he has NBS?

Oh yeah I could have been clearer. I only turn off my return pump before feeding so that's exactly what he's doing. Gotta make room lol.

My tomini does THE EXACT SAME THING! Why do they have to pick the front corners?! Mine enjoys his potty break in the front right corner. Always a little pile of crap. ;Shifty little turd.

How strange to learn this lol. Thought mine was special but I guess not after all Ha

Both my Tomini Tang and Starry Blenny do the same. Front left corner only. Had to adjust my flow to make sure it doesn't sit there.
