Please take the time to read this!
In my tank are a small sebae, a small false-eye puffer, and a small yellow tang. Ammonia = 0
Trites = 0 Trates = 5 PH = 8.4
My problem is this...I just got home from work and looked into my tank and saw no one...Even though it's the night there is usually some movement...anyway...i found the fish using a flashlight...the sebae was lying on the sand by a rock...the puffer was lying on a live rock, and the yellow tang was somewhere behind the rock....The sebae was very sluggish...when he saw the light he scurried behind the rock...the puffer doesnt look good at all...He was on a rock towards the top of the tank and he started swimming off of it and he sorta just sank instead of swimming...he seemed very low on energy and just sorta bounced onto the sand...and is now lying on the sand bed....He has white lines going all over his body...which weren't there 7 hours ago when I went to work..The yellow tang came out from behind the live rock and his color was completely faded...he looked like a pale brownish/white color with a big dark spot in the middle of him...and he has a solid white line going from his head to his tail on both sides of his body...I turned the main tank lights on and his colors are starting to normalize again but the white streak is still there...and white streaks are still all over the puffer...Is this normal for when they "go to sleep"? Or are they all dieing? HUMBUG! Someone please help if you can. Sorry this is so long, wanted to give as many details as possible. Oh yeah, temperature is 79-80 degrees.
