ive had a very lively and healthy naso tang for about nine months now, and suddenly the past 2 days hes had no appetite whatsoever. his body is starting to look thin and boney, and his tummy area, almost looks pinched in! water is testing perfectly, as usual, and there doesnt seem to be problems with anyone else in the 120 gallon year-old tank (yellow tang, small school of clarki clowns, blue damsel, large domino damsel, hipo tang, sailfin tang, sea urchins, starfish, snails, several anemones) up until now, hes always been a very social fish, following people as they walk past his habitat. now he just hangs out in the middle of the tank, not even really responding to his favorite foods that he usually scarfs immediately. i watched him eat just a few nibbles, but all at once, he puffed it back out only moments later. there have been no recent changes in his environment, such as moving/adding rock, variations of water quality, no new fish, etc. i read a previous post that someone elses naso was doing the same, but he was new. this is my favorite ole buddy in the tank and id appreciate any help you pals could offer. thanks alot
