ummm well there are no fish it should be hiding from so I would have a good look around and try to see if he is OK.

I did look around to no avail. I would have to start moving rocks (a lot of rocks).
Is it worth the trouble? |

I would move the rocks and look for him.

I think if it died the bristle worms will likely have already eaten it. You could use a power head to try to wash it out of the rocks.

I agree, if it died crabs/bristleworms would not waste any time at it... If you have a reasonable-enough volume of water it shouldn't matter that much if it's just a single fish. (reasonable-enough volume depends on the maturity, but likely 50+ gallons and you're good... my 300+ gallons I wouldn't think a bit about it -- except that it does suck to lose a fish)
.... If it is alive, then it'll come out at some point.

OK, I ripped most of the tank apart; no trace of my tang. It's as if he found a portal to someone else's tank....
I tested the water, and all the params were normal; the Ca and Alk were a little low, so I did a 10% water change. I plan on testing the water religiously every couple of days. over the next couple of weeks. Question for canreefers: what is an indication of a dead fish in the tank? High ammonia? High nitrates? High PO4? |
