Snapper Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 my friends yellow tang has been diong good in my QT for about a week now but out of no where for hte last 10 minutes he has been rapidly swimming left to right against the rear glass rubbing against it and breathing quick. Now I dont know if hes breathign quick because of how fast he is moving or because he is stressed. But he was literally fine until I put a black piece of paper on the back of the DT so I can observe him easier due to color standing out. Is this sign of ich? I dont see anything on him. I do see some tiny black spots onthe rim of his eye but I can't get a clear look to see if its black ich or not. Link to comment

Maybe the black paper made the swimming space to him seem smaller? Not sure about that, but maybe Link to comment
tennis20 Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Try taking off the black paper on the back If that seems to be causing the problem. Link to comment
Snapper Posted October 25, 2012 Author Share Posted October 25, 2012 that was actually the problem how weird was that lol. he still hides from me though when I go near the tank! I want to punch him Link to comment
Chew_Magna Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Putting that paper on effectively cut his viewed world in half. I'd probably freak too if half of everything I see suddenly disappeared in a wall of blackness :-) Link to comment
Snapper Posted November 1, 2012 Author Share Posted November 1, 2012 the wierd thing is the tank is against a wall so its still against a oragne "view" so to say but the black comletey drove him insane loll. I have noticed he eats his poop though, a lot of it, is that normal? loll Link to comment
