Red lips on yellow tang
My yellow tang has red lips is this a bad thing.
|
Has he been eating cyano or any other kind of red algae?
|
Is he eating well?
|
Yep. I had a bit of red algea with the new lights. So you think it could be that.
|
He's been eating fine Mysis, Brine, Pellets and Nori. I've only had him for about a week.
|
hmm....maybe its a girl tang and she likes to wear make-up. :mrgreen:
|
She is kinda sexy. Maybe a cross dresser. O oh.
|
Do you see any red along the lateral line or in his fins? Many years ago I had a tang that developed this when I had very high nitrate levels (possibly among other things...)
|
Nope just on the lips
|

I was told that any red along the mouth or lateral lines of yellow tangs is a good indication of amonia poisoning, which they are more sensitive to than other fish. Something about blood vessels or something but I can't quite remember. Have you checked your levels lately?
