    What is the pH issue?
    Yeah, I'm probably over feeding but I make sure my wrasse is full beyond a doubt, then I put even more food to entice the betta. So far he's only picked at a few mysis shrimp here and there.

    Hopefully he starts eating a little better. In the old apartment, before I moved 2 weeks ago, the pH in the tank was sitting at 7.4-7.5. It's been better at the new place, sitting at 7.7-7.9

    I don't think the yellow tang is too thrilled with the Tusk. I've never seen the tusk be aggressive towards him; quite the opposite actually. I've seen the tang attempt to put the tusk in his place, however, the tang has been hanging out at the bottom of the tank near the rocks the last day or so.

    Similar thing happening with my wrasse/marine betta. The marine betta is very cryptic and always stays in the rock work, he sleeps in the same spot the wrasse always slept in, so the wrasse will try to "be tough" and the betta doesn't care at all. It's quite funny. The wrasse just wedges himself into a new spot.

    I'm sure the yellow tang will be fine. Besides; Aussie harlequin tusk > yellow tang lol

    Very disappointed to say that the Kole died from ich and may be taking everything with him, including the tusk. knew I should not have bought from that store because of countless situations like this. Every time I have purchased from there, I get ich, but against my better judgement, I did so.

    The tusk isn't looking good?

    I can't wait for this milky water to subside. I've had it about 2.5 weeks now.
