    My chevron tang just started twitching recently, I was wodering if this was something to worry about?

    I have checked all my parameters and all is good, nothing out of the normal.

    He is eating great and looks good.

    Keep an eye on him. Tangs can be strange fish. My YT does that from time to time and he's totally fine, but keep a close watch for any other symptoms.

    My chevron does that when he is showing dominance to my other Tangs. They all do it from time to time

    I work for Chevron so I can't see that w/o thinking of work. I do admire those tangs though.

    Is he seeing his reflection when he's doing this?

    I've almost had my chevron tang for a year and half now, He twitches every now and then but he is fine.

    Could just the the fish, Start of a parasite or dominance. all of those options could lead to twitching.

    thanks all, but he seems to be fine, no signs of parasites or anything and he has stopped twitching. that was a little scary, eating great and happy as ever
