Worried about SailfinTang in QT

[jpc763]

I have had this Sailfin Tang in QT for 5 days now. He is just hovering along the bottom slowly moving around the tank. I fed Algae sheets and a couple of days ago, he was very interested. Today he did not touch them this morning or this evening.

I fed a little regular food and it did not appear that he at that either. 2 days ago I fed Emerald Entree and he at a little.

Anything I should do?

If the fish is otherwise healthy and not showing signs of illness, I wouldn't sweat it just yet. Even if it's eating a little bit every now and then, it is getting nourishment.

just ensure params in check.

1.5 hours of drip acclimation. Yea, I tend to shy away from expensive fish that die in QT.
