Aquarium Advice Freak
Well tonight I went out and got my first fish(Yellow Hawiian Tang). I had a 2 hour drive home and now the questions....
I used the acclimation method stated in the Marine aquarist handbook, dump 1/3 of the water. add 1 cup tank water, wait 15 min. dump water again, add tank water again. I did all this after letting the bags float for 20-30 min.
Any how now my tang is on the bottom of the tank(lights off) and pretty much lying on its side, breathing rapidly. Is this normal?
Did I do something wrong. This fish was in great shape when I bought him and even when I got home. now this.
My tank has been done cycling for 3 weeks now and all water tests are fine.
I really dont want to loose my first fish.
Should he bounce back after a couple hours,days????
thanx
