Hey All,
I got a small yellow tang about 20 days ago. He is about 1 1/2 to 2". I put him in a 29g quarantine tank that has 1 big chunk of live rock and a 4" T PVC pipe.
He seems to have been doing well up until today. He has been eating Nori, both red and green. And some flake food.
Today i get home from work and he is breathing really fast, and not swimming around as much. He also will not eat anything.
I added a air stone to see if that helps. Then i tested the water. Parameters are as follows:
Temp = 79° F
SG = 1.025
Ammonia (Nh3/Nh4) = 0 ppm
Nitrite (NO2) = 0 ppm
Nitrate (NO3) = 0 ppm
He is now laying on his side on the bottom of the tank breathing rapidly.
Here are some pics i took with my phone.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
