Clown tang

[Louis-210]

Trying to figure out why my clown tang is swimming back and forth on the glass, stress maybe? When feeding he will eat but then he goes back to the glass all day. Trying to figure out why or if anybody else has ever seen this before thanks.

Sounds stressed. How big of a tank is it? Tangs like a lot of swimming room.

I have. I've a butterfly that did it for a few days and yellow tang for a few days.

Was this clown tang picked out the ocean .. My first guess would be that his has know idea what he's at and freaking out that there's something blocking his swimming space but I don't know ..lol that's just my Guess lol..j/p...good luck with him..

Thanks, I got him at pollys and my tanks is 100 and had him about a week now. I do have a yellow and a sailfin but i dont see and Bulling going on. When i stand on that side of tank he will swim away but then when i leave he goes back to it. ITs like he can see him self lol

Umm.... I think all if not most tangs are from the ocean?.... Lol



my naso lately has been doing laps around my veggi clip, might have to find him a bigger home soon.

Idk by experience but I've heard clown tangs were difficult to keep in a aquarium..

I've never tried to keep one.

Yea your Naso is HUGE, this clown tang is sm he is about 1.5 in

Well tank size should not be a issue then right now..

i bet he is just getting checked by the yellow... As long as he's eating he should be alright, keep feeding and a lot!...

my chevron was tied to a corner for a few days before the purple and yellow let up.

Clown tangs are aggressive swimmers. More than most.

The left bound shark on the right, little white spot.... Rubbing against the glass causes it to rub skin off of the side of the fish.

[Louis-210]

That is a cool pic.

I wish. That tube In The middle is a "through the tank" water slide tunnel.

Up close and personal.

Your tank is far too small, even as a juvenile they need a big tank, especially since you have two other tangs in there. You really should either get a 250 or find the fish a home more suitable where it will not be stressed.
