My yellow tang did not eat today and has been hiding.. I check the water and everything is good. his eyes are clear but his top fins are laying down.
What are your exact water readings for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, ph, sg, and temp? Have you added anything new recently? What sized tank is this? How long have you had him?

80 gallon

2 gobys
1 green chromis
2 tomato clowns
1 blue thorat trigger
all the other fish are eating and ok
today was the first day that he did not eat!
He is about 5 inches
How long have you had him? When did you add him and when did you add the blue throat? How long have the clowns been in there? Basically what I am asking for is a time frame of when what was added and when he stopped acting normal.

If his fins are down then something is wrong. Actually, now that I think about it, his fins would be up if he was being harassed. They have a blade and are not afraid to use it. Is he the only fish that has clamped fins? Have you checked him over for white spots or any redness?

i will do that .....when i first got him he got it ick but made it though it. I did loose 3 other fish I hope he does not have it. Thanks for the advise
If you had ich in the tank then it is still there. Ich does not go away without you treating the fish and removing the host (any fish).

yes i have inverts the stuff i used is kick ick the organic stuff... it is safe for everything but it takes like 10 days
Sorry, I read what you typed wrong. Kick ich irritates the slime coat of fish. That is supposed to increase the slime coat so that ich cannot attach. It still attaches to the gills. Enough for the parasites to reproduce. That medication will NOT remove ich from your system. Do you have a quarantine tank?
