10 days ago I bought 2 small Hippo Tangs and put them into my FOWLR 250 l tank (66 us g) that has been running for 2 months. The moment I released them, they holed up in a cave and I have hardly seen them since.
When I throw in some foodstuff so that it sinks in front of the cave, they will dart out, grab the food and run for cover. I have tried Nori and Spirulina but they will not eat it.
Is this normal ? All water parameters are good but Nitrate is abt. 15mg/l probably due to my overfeeding. Maybe I should have bought yellow Tangs, but those available were to big for my tank. The Hippos are 25mm and 30mm (1ââ"šÂ¬Ã‚ and 1.25ââ"šÂ¬Ã‚Â)
I would really love to see those beautiful Tangs swim around. What can I do
