Forcipiger flavissimus Behavior Question 6/12/07
Hello,
<Hi there>
I recently bought a longnose butterfly (flavissimus) for
my 55 gallon FOWLR and it seems to be pretty healthy. But I'm worried
something might be wrong because sometimes it twitches strongly. What
could be wrong? Is this normal?
<Mmm, likely nothing wrong... these
BF's "do" this... even in the wild... Likely communicating>
The only
other tankmates are two Fiji damselfish with everybody seeming to get
along. I have very little live rock so the longnose has open swimming
space in the tank. Could it be a water quality issue? I've tested and
things seem ok. Thanks alot for any insight, I'm kinda worried.
tank
stats
0 ammonia
0 nitrite
10-15 nitrate
pH 8.2

<Likely nothing to be concerned about here. If this fish is eating,
moving about freely... no worries. Bob Fenner>
