    Hello all, I have a blue throat trigger fish acting very strange. For over a month now the fish has not been eating. It hides within the rocks all day and night. Sometimes it comes out for a few seconds and I am able to see it is very pale and thin. No sicknesses are visible.

    This has been a problem every since the day I accidently left my lights on for approx. 20hrs. Is it blind?

    My nitrates are a little high at 40 but always have been. The fish thrived in this condition for 18 months.

    Any ideas?
