Bristletooth Tomini Tang

kevin318 · Dec 6, 2020

Has anyone ever had a fish that always went to one area of the tank to poop? I have a Bristletooth Tomini Tang that goes t the front right hand corner of the tank to poop. It's the funniest thing and the crabs hang out in that area waiting for the delivery. LOL

This is the second time I've heard of this happening. I know it was somewhere on this forum (R2R), and it was within the last year, but I've definitely seen something like this described before...

Yea i had a yellow eye kole tang do this. That spot of the tank had lots of poop too

You know what the saying is right ? If an animal has a spot to go to the bathroom in. Versus just going all over. Its a sign of intelligence. Animals that are stupid will just go anywhere.. smart ones keep it in one spot.

I have alot if dunb fish though. They just poop in the open and the others.. eat it.. then poop and eat it.. its nasty i hate it.. and i feed my tank alot so it isnt that.

My blue eye does it also, right on top of a load of snails that congregate in the one corner at the back.

100% mine does this. It’s the front left corner he has now trained my blue tang to do the same.....

Yep, mine dors that too

All of my tangs do this, and it seems like when one goes the others try to cover it up, like dogs peeing on a tree.

I have a chevron bristle tooth. He always goes to the front left corner to poop over my acan and torch. The torch and Acan are huge and colorful. They love it!
