Purple tang twitching??

[ibrat82]

Hey Guys

I have a purple tang that I've had in qt for 5 weeks done ttm with 6 transfers! (More than what's required) 3 round of prazi. He was twitching in qt but when I first got him so I started ttm with prazi. Anyways I put him into the DT 48 hours ago and notice he is still twitching. Is this normal behaviour? Is it freaking out from its reflection? I don't what it is. Want to know if I should take him out and treat but I don't know what else I can treat for....

I suspect he is just getting used to the new tank. Mine will twitch on occasion; he seems to do it before he poops.

Tangs do 'twitch' as part of aggression behavior. If I put a mirror against my tank, all the zebras will twitch.

My Kole has been twitching like that in QT for a while now. Shows what I know, I thought he had flukes.

Well, he is scratching on the pipes too, so maybe the twitch is normal but the scratching isn't (obviously).

My purple tang does this too. He has some white around his eye but im not sure what it is. I think he just bumped into a rock. He is sketchey

I have yet to treat him with any meds or copper. Saturday will be two weeks in qt
