atlantic blue tang

[mosalt]

Help!!!!!!! My tang I got yesterday (& looked great) is now swimming with it's nose up at the very top of the tank & appears stressed. Any ideas for me to help it???

My first thought is may not have enough oxygen in the water, however more details about you system and acclimateing process may help us help your fish....

What size tank, water parameters, how long has it been up, etc. are needed.

I acclimated for 2 1/2 hours using the drip method. He was swimming around fine the first night with a clown I also just got. I have a yellow tang, a couple damsels, & a bicolor blenny I've had for over a year. The clown, niger trigger survived the acclimation, but the my bursa trigger & atlantic tang died. My tank has been up for five years & the only immediate problems I've had with new fish have been from saltwaterfish.com! However, it is winter now & my priority shipment didn't arrive until 4pm-whatever....
