Well my friends yellow tang swims around and than stops and twitchs a little bit to the left or right than swims again. Any idea whats up with the tang? It swims and eats and everything it just swims around and than it would stop and twitch.Thanks
 
I jave a juvi tomini tang in qt right now. Been 6 days since I brought him home. He does the same sort of thing. Or I should say he did. Been about two days since he's stopped doing it. He's acting normal, eating fine, grazing, etc. Perhaps it's justs stress?

I'll say one thing about this litttle guy - he sure is shy! We call him chicken-tang....
 
I have to say the same about this yellow tang my friend had, he messed up his tank some how killed almost all the fishes and the yellow is the only one that made it. After that it just acts like a chicken when people walk near it and befor it was brave.
 
sounds very like stress.

i have seen fish do this and it is almost always after a large water change or in q/t or such.
 
my clowns do this all the time it seems, but they are all healthy... its almost like a seizure looking thing. They seem to do it as a tool of aggression or dominancy in my tank in my opinion
 
Hmm yeah I know about clowns they always do it when they are near each other. A sign of aggression or something. I had a pair and here and there they would do it. But a tang doing that seems werid.
