I'm really curious if your fish has brain damage from his experience, kind of like a reverse hypoxia, or would that be hydropoxia? Anyways, I'm curious to see how your fish does after his jerky treatment.

I had a wrasse do that years ago, after reviving it, it appeared fine. Had it another year before he escaped again...

Its still hypoxia. Since there is still just a lack of oxygen in system. interesting question about brain damage. If it were a blue/hippo tang it may have been time to rename it(dori)

glad your tang is recovering
