Yes he is. He is in there with a powder blue tang too. They are both getting into the 4-5 inch range...

I've had a yellow tang for nearly 3 years now and suddenly he has stopped eating and is starting to look malnourished. I can't see anything wrong with him physically (other than losing weight) and none of my other fish are sick. The only thing out of the normal is one of my ballasts went out...

For about 3 weeks now, one of the "mouths" of my Hammer Coral has had a huge bubble coming out of it. What is that all about and should I be concerned? I got it from Petco about 5 weeks ago. I know Petco is not a good place to get a coral (or anything living), but it had great color in regular...

Sounds good, thanks. I was dreading trying to catch him after the hours it took to catch the dang hawkfish to trade in for the tang. My wife was threatening to skewer the hawkfish with a fork right before she caught it lol. Seems like the mean fish are always the most hardy and difficult ones...

Thanks for all the comments. Yesterday the yellow tang stopped harrasing him for the most part. Today I haven't seen the yellow tang go after him at all and he hangs out with the group now (It's odd they how they all prefer the black sand section of the tank...) He acts really healthy and...

Here are a few pictures. After I posted last night he found a hole in one of the rocks and hid in there. The clownfish have mostly stopped pestering him, but the yellow tang still goes after him when he gets near. He is still eating well. However, I saw one small white spec on his fin... I hope...

Long Story short, we had a pink hawkfish, then we got a little yellow clown goby and the hawkfish killed it :grumble: So we caught the hawkfish and traded it in on a blue tang today. We have two clowns (not true clowns) and a yellow tang. The Blue tang is about the same size as the clowns...

Thanks everyone!

After reading a few posts I'm thinking my bubble strip is a totally newbie item for my saltwater aquarium. I wanna replace it with this...

Makes sense. Thanks all!

I've been reading the forums for a while and noticed most everyone recommends against a $50 protein skimmer. I jumped in without knowing much and after spending close to $800 my wife started cutting me off. I had a lot of explaining to do just to get a skimmer lol. Anyway, I read the pros and...

Well, I got back from a 3 day weekend with family in another state and found my midas blenny half eaten in the corner of my fish tank :( I can't believe he died, he seemed perfectly healthy when I left. I checked water conditions before leaving and they were good, with just a trace of...

Ok... is it possible he can eat too much seaweed? He is stuffed and still eating!

I understand what you are both saying. Ich is a parasite that affects stressed fish and nitrates are one source of stress. I bought the tang on the same day my local fish store got it in, thus it had a lot of stress and contracted ich. The good thing is I only have a trace of nitrates...

I was looking at your hobby info and it says you have a 20G salt and 40G reef tank. Did you have all the Perculas in the 20G tank? I'm definatly not and expert, but I think overcrowding and small tank size might have been what caused the velvet to take hold and kill your fish. My LFS said it...

Update: The velvet looks like it has been cured as I don't see it on him anymore, but his pectorial fins are starting to deteriorate. I don't think it is fin and tail rot because it is only the webbing/membrane (not the spines) that is deteriorating and the medicine I have been using...

Thank you for the responses. The Tang is about 2.5 inches long. I took a sample of water to my LFS and had it tested. They said everything was good and only had a trace amount of nitrate. I did a 10% water change. My wife thinks one of our clowns has a little velvet on his chin, but I don't...

Hello, I have been trying to find out exactly what is wrong with my Yellow Tang and decided this was the best place. Background: I started a 70 Gallon saltwater fish tank a little over 2 months ago with live sand. Two weeks later I added two damsels. They did great, kept them in for a month...
