|  Naso Tang Question
I purchased a decent sized Naso tang last year and he has gotten bigger. Now it spends a lot of time lying around is this normal for that species of fish. When I go feed them he jumps up to eat no visual signs of ich or any other diseases. Temp is at 78-80 on the regular. 0ppm Nitrites and ammonia, PH is balanced.  _________ "The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing"

It would just lay on the bottom of the tank until I went to feed them. It has since died and went to fishy heaven. | |

No he didn't float was on the bottom of the tank. There was a cut by his tail fin that looks like it exploded. | |
