Blue tangs are like this, they will go into hiding when they were just added to the tank. Give them sometime and you will see them again.

[kee]

They are like this.... When added to the tank, they take very long time to settle down and within this period they are very stress and when this happen, they always take cover in cervics cave and holes

[kee]

hey how big is your tank..... hope you read up more regarding BT, BT can grow up to 1 feet plus abit and that is very big and with 3 bt like yours, only a tank ard 5 feet can successfully keep them happily.... If your tank is much smaller suggest you give or sell away few Anyway i never love tang as they produce tons of waste and thats no very good for a reef tank.

[kee]

i tink no need to remove... i tink the BT die liao.. nv see at all.. HAI VERY SAD!!!! =(

[kee]

then any recommendation on wat fish to keep?

[Morgan]

If it is hiding for so long...most likely they are dead.

You have to find them and remove....if not going to pollute the water.

How long have they been in the tank and what is your water parameter like

[kee]

hai.. i also tink die liao.. HAI.....HAI!!!! one day is counted long

Dont worry too much... they have a very bad habit of wedging themselves between rocks laterally for days.

Give him a few days and never disturb him if you find him to dislodge him and he'll rally round.

then any recommendation on wat fish to keep?

First you need to tell us how big is your tank and whether it is a reef or FOWLR tank.

[kee]

2 ft tank.. the BT i get are very small... 1-2 cm only.. i noe i cant keep big one.. i only have one fish currently

my tank with a little coral mushroom hammer torch polyp

That should be a simple reef..... anyway theres no way you should keep 3 BT in a 2 footer, not even small ones . IMo witha tank that size, you should not think of keeping any tangs, anyway they are much more nicer and smaller reef fishes out there.....

And since its only 1 day, i think your BT are still alive in your atnk squeezing themselves in some caves.....

And pls remove the tangs sorry for offending you if i ever did, just that i care for the welfare of the fish

Dont worry. Give the blue tang one or two days.

Suddenly, the blue tang appear on the third day.
