    Default signs of stress

    I recenty bought a few anthias for my tank and it is clear they are under some stress. No worries that is expected, but it has caused me to think about stress in fish. One of the signs of sickness is stress, correct? Or at lease stress symptoms...so what are they? What should I keep and eye out for?

    Things like:
    gaping mouths
    "panting" gills

    What else? behavior of fish???

    Thanks!

    Not eating, ich, pale, hiding.
    Reefing is just like cooking, all the ingredients have to be just right , except you don't have to bring the water to a BOIL...

    Hiding is, especially for Anthias and more timid species...but not panting.
