I was looking at my Chevron tang this afternoon and notice that on is right eye their was like an inflation compare to the left one. It's like if he was having something like clear layout right on all the surface.

Should I be worried.

Thanks

Also I do put a sheet of nori in the tank on a clip and I was told they really like it but is not touching it

???

Fred,

Keep an eye on his inflated eye. It may be pop-eye, and may be solely due to stress from being moved into a new environment.

As for the nori. Keep trying daily. He will eventually take to it. Try putting a few drops of Garlicextreme or garlic extract as an attractant. It once took over a week for my naso tang to learn that the sheet of nori was food.

You could also try attaching it to a small piece of rock with a rubberband and placing it among the rockwork. This may look more natural to the fish.

Anything to do for is eye. What's the worst thing that can happen?

frederickk · #**105** 05/10/2007, 09:54 PM

I looked at the Chevron tonight to see that is eye was looking a little better but nonethless I still don't if there is something to do with that?

you would have to take him out and medicate him in a hospital tank. There are medications made specifically for pop-eye.

In my opinion, doing that may put more undue stress on the tang. You mentioned that it seems a little better today. I say let it run it's course, and hopefully once he settles in and is less stressed it will go away.

The water parameters in your tank are pristine. That alone will go a long way...

Thanks

I'm leaving for three days and will be back sunday night. Anything special that the GF need's to check?

I'd suggest not changing a thing.

Great shots, Fred, you became a pro at this posting pic stuff... .

I keep my Acan on the bottom half of my tank.

frederickk · #**110** 05/13/2007, 03:22 PM

Thanks DarthBaiter

I looked at Ron the Chevron and he seems to be doing better tonight as is eye is clearly recovering.

But will still keep an eye on him.

frederickk · #**112** 05/14/2007, 05:15 AM

One more

frederickk · #**113** 05/14/2007, 09:51 PM

Very happy today as I finally saw Ron my chevron going after some nori on the clip.

He looks way much better now.

Will try to get a pic tomorrow.

Fred! VERY NICE!! I just found your thread. This is the first time I see an FTS of your tank. LOOKS GREAT! Keep the pictures coming.

frederickk · #**115** 05/15/2007, 05:23 AM

Thanks Tony for the kind words.

Will try to get that Chevron on pic tonight.

tang_man_montreal · #**116** 05/15/2007, 10:50 AM

Fred,
Glad to hear that he finally took to the nori...
See?? I told you...

frederickk · #**117** 05/15/2007, 05:48 PM

Ok I will be listening now. Might have a lot of questions though.

frederickk · #**118** 05/16/2007, 05:23 AM

I was just curious to know how long can I go before changing my filters in my RO/DI?

frederickk · #**119** 05/17/2007, 09:34 PM

bump

frederickk · #**120** 05/18/2007, 09:21 PM

I went to my LFS today and they had a black tang that was already reserve for someone.

Can somebody explain to me what is the reason of having a yellow tang but black for that price?

I know it must be a prestige to have one but to be honnest there is other rare fish that cost less then him.

frederickk · #**121** 05/20/2007, 07:34 PM

Thanks Tang man for the lesson 101 of the aquacontroller. Works fine now.

tang_man_montreal · #**122** 05/21/2007, 05:19 PM

You're welcome! Great to hear!

I think the Yellow Tang looks allot better!

frederickk · #**124** 05/22/2007, 10:30 PM

I have to agree on this one as black doesn't come out really easy especially when the atinics are on.

I don't know maybe it would look good in a tank in the middle of good restaurant.

What are you planning to put in your tank Tony?
