reefgeek84 Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 I just got a Tomni Tang from Joel and it is a small one and it was doing fine this morning when I got it up this morning and then he just disappeared...I do not believe he died, he was not showing signs of it. So I assume he is hiding...The few fish I have are fairly bold and dart around the tank quite a bit...so I am hoping he is hiding...but I would like to hear from people...and he did not jump, although I have never really heard of this with tangs.

CCR Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 had fish "hiding out" for 3 to 4 weeks at a time. Is a little nerve ratteling when they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drock59 Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 I just had an anthias disappear for well over a month, closer to two months. Then my wife says," we should get the anthias some friends." Following the terrible scowl, I turned and noticed him swimming with my chromis. Unbelievable. Summation; fish can hold out for quite a while.

bluecheese Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Blue Tang hid in a cave for 3 weeks because he was bullied by my yellow tang. When I finally isolated the yellow tang and gave him "Jail" time, the blue Tang reappeared. In my case I was lucky I could actually see him in the cave, so I knew what to do.. What are you other renters? Any chance one of them scared the little guy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
