Default six line warasse werid

hello,

two weeks ago i bought home a blue tang..
then my six line disappeared...i assume it is scared of the tang..


but after 1.5 weeks i realized it is just hiding durin daytime and movin occassionally at night...BUT now my tang has died coz of ich and body rotting..he is still hiding

this means..i never seen it eat...but i know it might be eating stuff from teh liverocks..


how come it is always hiding durin day time??
it is weird..coz before the blue tang it has come out always..

any ideas how to get him comin out again?

thanks...

If the 6-line is also sick now, it will hide more... can you feed it some garlic-soaked mysis shrimp? Do you have any other remedies that you use?

To get him to "come out" you've got to get him healthy (if he's not). It may still be uncomfortable/stressed by the Tang, which is now gone but may have freaked him out a bit.

ps- your typing is difficult to read.

Six-lines do eat lots of pods off of the rocks but they are always moving around and always seem to be the center of attention. If you aren't seeing your during the day, I would agree that it may be sick.
BTW the rotting Tang isn't still in the tank is it?
