Hello reefers,
I have a Yellow-Flanked fairy wrasse that is behaving strangely. It swims vertically, much of the time, occasionally bouncing its tail off the substrate. (See video) It started doing this about a week after I got him. He has been in my tank for about 3-4 weeks. He eats well and has no rivals in the tank. He also flattens out to a more normal stance when he wants to go fast. His behavior doesn’t look right but this is my first Yellow-Flanked. Thoughts?
My tank has been up for about two months. It is 90 gallons and shows 0 ammonia, 0 nitrites, 7.96 Ph, 35 ppm, and 89 degrees. Calcium is 440 and DKH is 7.6. Other tank inhabitants include 2 x cleaner shrimp, 2 x nassarius snails, 1 x Lubbock’s wrasse, 1 x cleaner wrasse, 4 x firefish, and 1 x starry blenny.
