so if they do find each other they shouldnt fight....right? I may have said this before....nems is evil.

Glad to hear the RBTA is still kicking around.

Ultimately, two BTA's in a tank shouldn't be a problem. IME anyhow..

What model is your P&S underwater camera again?

I second the call for more top down clam shots

No point really....just a general observation

Didnt really plan to have two BTAs in the tank tho. I had my reservations about one

Catherine the camera is a pentax optio wpi. Mines a couple years old now but I think they still produce them.

My regal tang either suffered some kind of eye injury or has pop-eye

. Ive done two large water changes this week in hopes of bringing my nitrates down a little(15). It looked a couple days ago like the swelling in it had gone down but it since has ballooned up again to where it looks like it about to explode. He doesnt seem to be visually impaired atm, still eats like a pig and is acting normally. Im not sure what else to do about it.

Sorry about his eye, I'm not sure what to suggest on that one. Medication maybe in a hospital tank?

As for the NO3, have you ever thought about using Taylor Aquatics Nitrate Destroyer?

Ok....nitrates wernt high( not that 15 is that terrible). The nitrate test kit I was using was a left over from the fresh water days. I picked up an API ( not the best I know but, no salifert so...) and it tested out twice at 0 (surprised me actually). So this leads me to believe the swelling is the result of an injury. I dont know if all regals are like this but mine does this "happy dance" after a feed where he rips around the tank in top speed bursts. He has made a couple sps frags for me this way so this is likely when it happened. Removing the tang for treatment would be a huge undertaking

Everything I read seems to suggest a week or two for a healing time. Its been a little over a week. I hate seeing him like this
