    I have had a very small Atlantic blue tang in a QT for two weeks. He has seemed fine since I got him except for the past few days. He is now darting around the tank. He seems to be breathing normal and is still eating and the water parameters seems fine. Yet he swims with real quick jerky motions.

    Any ideas?

    Add some hiding Places for him. I use large PVC elbows and such

    The kole tang in my 72 flips out every night after I turn off the TV and living room lights. It's kinda funny, but apart from that he's fine.
