I just got a small yellow tang from my LFS. I observed him in the store for a good 30 minutes. He was eating well, swimming well. Look good.
So I bring him home, drip acclimate him for about 30 minutes, then float him for about 30 more. Quick freshwater dip in distilled water and relased him into the tank.
For about an hour he was doing great. Swimming all over, gazing some seaweed I put it.
He's now been in the tank for about 90 minutes and is sitting at the bottom, breathing hard and not moving. Kinda propped up against some of my LR.
I tested all may water parameters this morning. All was normal.
Amm: 0 -> Nitrite: 0 -> Nitrate: 5 -> PH 8.2 -> Temp 78 -> Salt 1.022
Is there anything I can do for him? I hate to see him like this. Any advise please?
This is my first fish in this tank. It's been well cycled. It's been running since October 2004.
