had a long night!
I'm still learning about marine fish, and have had a 29 gal tank for over a year... I just recently set up a 55 gal tank, cycled it w/ damsels, acclimated my older fish and all was well... here's my problem... bought a new yellow tang, acclimated him, and put him in the new tank... he never behaved well... totally afraid of anyone on the outide of the tank... really shy... he ate fine though, so I figured he was just getting used to the tank... well my coral banded shrimp and him just didn't get along.. so I'm thinking that I picked a bad choice for the addition, but yesterday, guess what I found on hime.... ICK!!.. he was in the early stages, and died overnight.. I think the shrimp helped the process... now, I don't know if the rest of my tank is screwed or what! everyone else seems fine and dandy... help please!
