Hi new to the forums!!
today i just went to LFS just to look around. i said to myself i wouldnt buy anything but unless if i find a really good price.
arriving there i saw that all of their aquariums were crap. each saltwater tank was about 5 gallons on each section. in my mind im definitely not getting a fish cuz clowns, tangs, triggers etc were all in a 5 gallon tank.
so i looked at yellow tangs cuz i was gonna pick one up in the future. it was about 3-5 inches long and it was marked 30 bucks. all around my area its about 40-50 dollars average. so i couldnt resist and i bought one.
before i bought it i made sure if it was healthy. it looked really really healthy. good stomach and yellow as hell. i asked the salesman to feed it. so he fed it and the fish was going crazy eating everything.. so i was satisfied and bought it..
when i bought it i was about to look around some more but the salesman told me to take it home right away cuz he just ate and he threw up because all that stress.
so i rushed home and when i took it out it turned white and there were white lateral stripes on it. i kno its stressed. just to make sure if its ok cuz since hes in a new tank. will he be in less stress by the afternoon tomorrow?
i kno that he would be same in the mornning cuz i read that as soon as u turn on the light he will be faded. i added a lettuce just incase for his nutrients.
plz reply bak..
thanks sorri for the long essay.
