Naso Trouble

[Bevobud@hotmail.com]

The past couple nasos i've had haven't done so well. They start out shy as so be expected then adjust to the tank but for some reason after sometime they just stop eating and ultamintly die. The tank is 215g and the nasos where the biggest fish, i just dont get it.


If you have any advice all is welcome.

They are dieing for a reason, but without any tank specs there is no way we can help. Give us the run down Ammonia? Nitrites? Nitrates etc... What other fish are with the Naso? As you probably know Nasos, Blue Hippos, Powder blues tend it get ich and stress out very easily.

give us the total rundown, including water changes and type of water.

Also, the other inhabitants??? Is something outcompeting the naso for it? The more you can tell us, the higher the probability of an accurate answer.

Was it eating when you get it? did you acclimate it well? did you turn off the lights when it first introduce it to the main tank?did you use a quarateen tank? I did all that and i have not have any problem with mine, 7 months old and eats everything i throw in there.
