Abnormal Sailfin Tang Behavior

[angelfishlover]

For a few days, my sailfin tang hasnt been itself. She seems to be breathing a little quikly and she is not eating and agressivly as she use to. She is still eating a healthy amount of food, just not as much as she use to. Could something be wrong? My parimeters are

 

Ammonia-0

Nitrite-0

Nitrate-0

SG-1.026

Temp-81F

PH-8.3

How long have you had her and can you look close enough at her to examine for any external parasites or notice any color changes? That'd be where I would start anyways.

assuming you have this fish in your 80 gallon how heavily is it stocked? Reason I'm asking is because at higher salinitys there is less oxygen.

 

have you made any changes to your tank lately-and the promising question was how long have you had this fish.

yeah, reefin's right, the hiher the SG the less O2. along with a higher temp, which also decreases O2, that may be the only problem.

 

hopefully.
