Problem!1

I have a blue dogy, It was fine yesterday but about 12:30 I saw him stuck on the vent of my wave maker. I quickly unpluged the wave maker and he swam away. I don't know how long he was stuck there but he turned what on he's bottom half. I'm going to check on him when I get home from work to see if it just major stress. What do you guys think?

Not a good sign.

Mainly b/c you have a Tang that should be in nothing smaller than a 55gal at the minimum. And you have her in a 30gal tank. This fish needs some swimming room!! 4 feet at an absolute minimum, 6 feet is recommended. Basically this fish will stress and inevitably die b/c of these housing circumstances.

It would be similar to confining a person to the space of a closet to live their life.


PLEASE, before you add anymore livestock to your tank do a little research on it first. Your tank and especially your tankmates will suffer if you continue on this road.
