Well i added a very small hippo tang (about 1-1.5") to my tank last tuesday. he was shy the first two days, and then he started coming out to swim by thursday. i fed him cylcop eeze, flakes, mysis throughout the week. after i fed him friday he went to his hidding spot in a rock, and didnt come out until tuesday when he was laying down on the bottom of the tank under his rock. he would come out a little bit when i dropped food down there. I saw him eating it, so i figured something freaked him out yet. tuesday he was still nipping at food that floated towards him. yesterday he wedged himself under another rock on the bottom of the tank and didnt come out for food. today i checked and he is laying on the bottom breathing sort of heavy. any ideas what i can do to help him?
