Sargassum trigger acting weird

Wowkuh · Sep 10, 2018

Hey guys not sure if I posted in the right section but here it goes...

I got a redtail trigger yesterday. Drip acclimated him for about 45-60 mins and introduced him to my tank. He's swinging weird the next morning.... (Please see vid)

Tank mates are

Harlequin tusk
Purple tang
2 blue hippo
Yellow tang
Gold rim tang
Banggi cardinal
Blue green Christmas
2 tomato clown.
And all acting and eating normal.

No one picks I bum he's left completely alone

He looked fine at the fish store. I saw him eating shrimp so I know that's a good sign. He was acting a little strange, passing back and forth in the tank on the bottom. But I figured it was because he was I'm a small tank with an undulated trigger so I figured he was just stressed and trying to get away from him. He was being bullied by the undulated. I got the redtail for a steal and wanted to rescue him lol

Oh and please don't bash me for not having quarantining him first. I don't need that lesson right now lol.

Very strange, but appears to be completely healthy by looking at him.

Yes looks good. No external parasites visible.when he does swim he bumps into walls etc. Normal fish turn to avoid a wall lol
