HI I am new to the marine tank hobby. I have a 60 gal tank that has cycled and is just over 2 months old. I have live rock and live sand since originally set up. Water parameters are
Ammonia 0
Nitrates and Nitrites 0
SG 1.023
PH 8.2
Temp 79
2 ocellaris Clown fish (3 weeks) doing awesome
1 diamond goby (since Sunday) appears to be doing well
1 royal gramma (since Sunday)
Sunday hid all night did not eat (which I expected) did a drip acclimation for 90 minutes.
Monday was out all day swimming with the clowns ate like a champ.
Tuesday hid in a rock all day. I did not witness it eating.
Today laying under a rock (shelf area) did not eat.
Other observations since I put him in the tank. Keeps its fins close to its body (not faneed out like the clowns)
There is a blackish area near the tail fins but is irregular in size and shape probably it's natural coloring.
It has been at the LFS since December and all their tanks are treated with copper and UV. Therefore I did not QT this fish.
Bottom line is this fish sick or is it normal behavior of the Royal Gramma?
Thanks in advance
