My tang is not eating. He seems to be hiding in the live rock all the time. unless he goes out when im not around, and eats the algea off the live rock. Is this correct?
You should research all new additions before purchasing them. If you dont know the name how did you research it. A 65 gallon is too small for a tang. I would recommend you take the fish back. Sorry if I sound harsh, but I want to get to the point so you can have a successful tank. That way you won't waste your money and fishes lives.I forgot the name of it. Hes dark blue, but changes to gray at times. I got him on friday 4/2/04. the other fish are shrimp, blemmy, and a clown. Im feeding brine shrimp. i have a 65 gallon tank, and i have regular floresents
I am by no means saying your friend is trying to do you wrong. But I would hope that a educated consciencous fish keeper would not house a tang in a tank under 100 gallon. This however is your choice. Hopefully he starts eating for you. Maybe you should ask your friend for help since you are so confident in his ablity. The people here are trying to help you. No one wants to see you lose fish. There are tons of beatiful fish that can be kept in a 60 gallon.My LFS, whom is owned by a close friend, would not steer me wong by selling me this tang.
