Yellow belly blue tang

Kial · Apr 15, 2018

Just added a small yellow belly blue tang and has swimming around like crazy. Back and forth, up and down. Is the normal tang behavior?

He's eating like a pig also

yep,probably normal in my experience.just stressed not knowing his new environment and wondering if jaws is about to appear from behind a rock and eat him.he should calm down more and more each day.he's eating so that's one less thing to worry about.

What size is your tank? If cramped they can definitely act that way.
