Has anyone had this happen with a longhorn cowfish? I got one from my LFS yesterday and he seemed happy until right after dinner he ate well with everyone else but later that night he started bumping into everything like he was mad and wanted out, I netted him and left I'm in quarantine for a few hours until he calmed down then let him back out thinking he just got scared about something. I checked on him through out the night and found him in various places through out my tank but never looked stuck. This morning i went to check again before work and found him at the very back under some of the rock work appearing to be dead, not moving not doing anything just sitting on the bottom, the tank has a natural eddy there and i know that when they are very stressed they can be very toxic, I thought the eddy had contained the toxin and he poisoned himself, now I'm thinking he was fine, but when i pulled him out to see if there was anything physically wrong with him, this fins and tail were stiff as a rock and his gills (or air holes in there case) were not moving, his mouth was wide open and his eyes were kinda glazed. Any thoughts? I really hate the idea that i may have flushed a still living fish especially something as cute as a cowfish!!!!
OK...yesterday you got a cowfish.....you have a qt, BUT put it right into the DT.....when it started acting odd.....you put it in the qt for a few hours.....then put it back in the DT.....
Does this explain what transpired in this fish's life in the course of 24hours??????
