   |  Kole Tang not up to par
We have had our Kole Tang now for about 7 months. He has always been an active eater and quite active. He was eating fine last night but this afternoon I noticed he was hiding out in the rockwork and did not come out to eat when i fed the tank. The parameters of the tank are 0 Ammonia, 0 Nitrites, 5ppm Nitrates. There have been no new additions to the tank for several months.
Any thoughts or ideas? _________ 72 gallon bowed 150lbs LR 60 lbs LS

Same thing happened to me as well. Checked the tank a little while ago during lunch and he was behind the rock dead with hermits feeding on him 
I am bummed he was the second fish to be put in that tank... | |

Thanks, guys...He was one cool fish, so much personality, and definitely the ruler of the tank.
Hey Matt, The skimmer, a Tunze 9010 is working great...It is pulling a large amount of skimmate everyweek. Yep, all of the other fish are acting normally... | |
