Aquarium Advice Newbie
hey tehre ya'll
i run a small 30 gallon sw tank.
monday night i went and bought a really nice yellow banded maroon clown
i brought him home floated the bag for about 10 min then added some tank water to the bag waited another 5-10 min then pulled him from the bag and released him into the tank with lights off. at first he only stayed up top. but seemed fine. in the morning i found that he had made home in the sand by pushing the sand up to make a hole.
my problem is this. he has still not eaten anything that i have seen.
he stays up top most of the day and then when the lights are off he goes into the rocks where he made the hole in the sand, when i got home from work today i noticed his color to be poor and his eyes seems to be hazy and a bit poofy. i would love to know if theres somthing i can do to help him. he does not look good
here is some specifics on my tank to help you out
30 gallons
ph 8.3
salinity 1.024
0 amonia
.15 nitrate
0 nitrite
temp 78
3 inch live sand base
65+ pounds of fiji select live rock
100 watts of light
established for about 2 months
the only fish in the tank are as follows
green spotted puffer
spiny serpant star
serpant banded star
and one spotted manderin goby
all other fish seem to be doing great
any help would be great PLEASE HELP!!!
