Sick Lipstick Tang
HI all, hoping that someone can help me. Got home from work tonight and a normally very active colorful confident Blonde Lipstick tang has lot a lot of color, isn't interested in food and is not swimming around is just planted in one spot. He looks terrible.
Last night when I put seaweed clip in he also wasn't interested it that, he normally is an absolute pig so I was little concerned last night, but today I am frightened.
Just did all tank parameters as follow
salinity 1.025 refractometer
Ammonia 0 Seachem
Nitrite 0 Sailfert
nitrates 0.2 Elos
Phos 0.04 Hanna checker
alk 8.6 Hanna checker
cal 454 Hanna checker
All other fish are eating and actively swimming and seem to be fine. I know this is a stupid question but we have had an issue with some (not sure which) cyno or brown snot algae recently, our rodi filters needed changing which we did as soon as the problem started arising, can this type of algae cause problems for fish ?
He wont eat anything tonight,
Please help I don't want to lose him he is an amazing fish with so much spunk, we love him
P.S all corals in tank are looking fine too.
thanks
