yellow tang-read

[fishfatty]

my yellow tang is 1 week, 1 day old. when i walk into the room he is swimming around in the tank, then when i go closer he runs and hides under the rock. he is really shy. will he eventually become less shy? is there something i can do? thanks

that's what fish do. Some are just like that. He might change after awhile. Some fish get excited because they think they are going to get fed when somebody gets close.

I have a bench in front of my tank so visitors can oogle at the inhabitants. After a while no fish hides, they all come back out and act normal.

he is still very new and getting acclimated. Once he associates you with food, he will come to you when you approach the tank

Not all fish will be friendly!!!! I have had my Yellow Tang for over a year. She still hides when I come around. I have to keep my distance for her to swim around for observation. She would come around during feeding time that's about it. :happyfish
