Dying Powder brown!!

thanks all for your comments.

Anyway, one clown died went i went to look this morning. When i left last night my banded shrimp nipped at the clown before i had to go home. "no signs of a fight with the clown"

tang looked norm again this morning. and at 5pm he was back to being not so dark. Guess i'll have to brake down and test at morning and at night..

Thanks again guys,
Mike


ADD:Condylactus is the name

 

sounds like hydrogen sulfide poisoning to me... the reason he swims in the current of the powerhead is to get more oxygen.. could be ammonia but Everything would be dead most likely...
just a thought

 

I have a Powder Brown, and he is as healthy as can be--Every morning I come down, he is swimming in the powerhead against the back wall. He loves it. I do agree that if you can see his skeleton that you should fatten him up. Add some vitamins (Selcon-Kent Zoe) to his frozen food and add Garlic juice to his Nori or Romaine sheets. I bought mine at Petco along with many of my others, so don't belive all of that noise. There are good and bad stores. If your Tang is not eating and loses color, then you have a problem. If he is eating, just give him time. They do change from dark to light. That is normal. Agree with the rest of the posts. Take back the Nem and slow down...Good Luck!!!

 

im not sure about all tangs but my kole eat new life pellets and the dried algae. The pellets are supplemented

 

I feed my tang with emerald entree frozen cubes as well.. has a mix of many plants, mysis, etc.

I need to pick up some nori and flakes etc.

 

update

Hi all again,,

All is great in my tank as of today..

Red banded shrimp is a POS for nipping at all kinds of things in my tank i took his arms off he is fine now till they grow back..I'm setting up a 10gal tank for him soon..

Other then that live is good for them..I tested the nitrates and phos lvl's and it's 0..

I'm moving back to my tank soon so I'll be able to get/post pics of my tank soon after the move.


Thanks all,
Mike

ADD,

PS My anemone and clown get along great he attached to a rock or sand bed and is standing about 3in high the clown don't leave his side more then 2in..

 

Did you just say you took his arms off? Oh brother... Your crackin me up man.. Good Luck with the tank.. Please consider what you've been told.

SLOW DOWN AND READ......

 

What Powder Brown Tang is it Acanthurus nigricans or Acanthurus japonicus?

 

Powder brown

Unsure, of type.

Anyway i went on a week long vacation and my mom was feeding my tank.

Long story short=brown+anemone died "she said it was sucked up in the filter that has a gap of 1/16 holes"

anyway, i'll start braking down my tank and trashing the living things or taking them to petco around the 20th of this month so i can move it if i can't sell the system.. what a fun year it's been with my tank..

Bye for now,
Mike

 

Seriously dude.
