Sick Blue Tang

[eagleONE]

I have a juv. hippo tang that's starting to float. I think its on the verge of dying. It's having a hard time swimming and is sandwiches itself btwn rocks to keep stable. I don't know what exactly to do. I have him seperated in a 10g right now with oxygen bubbling. Any suggestions please? Thanks

i dissagree with tangs for swimming and then laying down the next min. something else is going on. what are your water parameters for start?
