Naso Tang Acting Odd

[abarton21]

Hi, i’m having a peculiar issue with my Naso. It was acting normal, until I added 3 Blue Reef Chromis to the tank. Now it is almost sulking in the back of the tank, not moving much, and showing signs of stress. I checked my water and everything seems normal (besides nitrates which are a bit higher than ideal) and the tang is showing no signs of disease. Help?

What is your nitrate? I'm just curious as it probably doesn't factor in to this issue.

How long ago were the chromis added?

Were the new additions or any of your existing fish QTd?

Can’t imagine he’s scared of some teeny tiny chromis.... but, hey, what do I know?

I don’t recall the exact number, but my test strips read it as in the “okay” zone. The chromis were added two days ago, and I didn’t quarantine before I added, although I do know the store I purchased them at medicates their water.
