PS - my guess is that the water issues should be solved since you've basically done a 100% water change. There could be unmeasured toxins from dying coral, etc - and for this reason I would add carbon (activated - high quality) - and leave it there.

I’m not really sure. What I can say is that from when I originally got it, it’s always kind have swam like that “flappy bird” game. But then I’ll see it swim like the other yellow tangs too when it extends its dorsal fin like it gives it more “hovering” balance.The tail-down swimming posture is suggestive of a swim bladder issue, negative inflation. Can you tell, if the tang stops forward momentum, does it sink?

Thank you. I’ve done effectively 66% (6x 20%) of water removed.PS - my guess is that the water issues should be solved since you've basically done a 100% water change.

I would only use carbon while you're treating with medicine the manufacturer states it's ok. I did not realize you had started anything yet.Thank you. I’ve done effectively 66% (6x 20%) of water removed.
I have pull the carbon out for a few hours after the Rally Pro is dosed but place it back later in the day.

Here’s a video from the day before where its dorsal fin wasn’t stuck extended yet. So you can see how it typically roams or positions itself when picking at things.
I just checked the Purple tang again this morning and it’s fun is still fully extended.
Yeah this is normal for this one as it’s been a little off like this from day one, and it seems it’s very minimal. It’s able to go nose first to pick at the sand easily and can rise to the top of the water column relatively easy. Not perfect but it’s not really been too obvious until I really start looking for it.Well, I can't tell you why the dorsal fin is stuck open, but that fish is definately negatively bouyant - like when I SCUBA dive and put on too many weights!
