Help My Yellow Tang all of a sudden is bugging out, he's like swimming in Circles and trying to attack the tank glass, I'm thinking he's seeing his reflection in the tank and is trying to attack it thinking it's another tang, but he's never been this way, very aggresive, the most recent change i've made to the tank was the lighting, i had a black light and removed it so my tank can be fully lit with the regular lighting, could this change affect my tangs behavior?

you could pull and quarentine for a while....ussually fish dont see there reflection....but it may be a sign that something else is wrong. what size tank is he in?

 

[lion_crazz]

Have you noticed any spots on him or anything? How long have you had him?

 

[jhov2324]

He's in a 70g. I've had him for like 2-3 months, he had a big pimple on the top of his fin, but it popped itself last week, it left a little mark on his fin, i notice that as he's breathing fast, but that could be cause he's swimming fast

Could be stray voltage....that would excite them like that!

 

[jhov2324]

Which means (stray voltage)?

 

[jhov2324]

I also notice that he is attacking the same spot, it's where i put his feeding clip

 

[misty927]

Maybe he's really, really hungry?? :notsure:

 

[nereef]

shouldn't be stray voltage since the animals in the tank aren't grounded. glass is a good insulator.

 

[jhov2324]

He is always very well feed, i thought it was cause he was hungry, thought he was trying to tell me to feed him, which was cool at first, but after i fed him, he kept, going crazy, I don't know, I guess I'll see what he's like tonight, if anybody has a clue on what could be going on with him let me know,

In the direction that he is trying to attack, is there anything yellow?? I have noticed that my tang will attack post-its!! Even outside the tank, anything bright yellow??
