Naso Tang help

[Sharkey18]

I added the first fish to my new 120, it's a nice Naso Tang. It was doing fine the first 2 days, swimming around, picking at algae.

 

Now for the past 3 days, it has been hiding in a cave. Haven't seen it eat.

 

Levels are pretty good.

 

Ammonia is 0

Nitrates are 5

ph is 8.1

Salinity 1.027

 

I keep offering it different food: sea veggies on an algae clip, sea veggies in the water, mysis.

 

Any ideas? Suggestions?

Have you been able to get it to eat anything in the first couple of days? Did you see it eat anything in the store?

Have you checked nitrites? How is the fish breathing? Any signs of ich? The fish sounds like she's definitely stressed out..sounds like it's eating nothing'?

 

You need to get it to eat something, maybe live brine?
