Dead yellow tang

[Zionas]

And this is someone that wants to keep his Yellow for over 20 years, even over 30!

Such heartbreak......

Ouch. Did you find the cause of his death? Sorry for your loss!

Thanks! I know it....no I am not a 100% sure, but I think a possible bacterial infection. The fins on both were torn. No aggression in my tank, but they would dart around a lot, wondering if they had gotten injured and developed a bacterial infection from that? Only thing I can think of. That's the frustrating part besides loosing them.

Well its been 2 days since the yellow tang died no other fish has any problems they are all still eating and acting normally no visible signs of disease no hiding from the lights or swimming into powerheads

Not sure of the cause, but after living in Hawaii for 18 years and watching them thousands of times, I can say Yellow Tangs are voracious pigs. If there is light, they will be in the shallows feeding. Feed them, feed them, feed them.

That’s good news that everything else is doing well for past 2 months!
I understand the concern of upsetting the balance in your system, but I am no tang expert.
