Greetings all.
I had this tank in my Reefer 250 for about 4 years now. He was healthy and thick. Last Sunday, I moved him and my other fish to a new larger system (waterbox 180). He is behaving normally and eating, but today I noticed this line the runs from
Behind his gills down to his stomach, which also seems a bit pinched. I see this on both sides. Please see attached pic. This line wasn’t there back in my older system.
is this a sign of stress or possibly starvation ? Tank parameters in my new system are all good and my other fish are healthy as well. The new tank however has no algae to graze on, so perhaps he is just not eating as much as he did in the Reefer 250. Any tips or advice on this would be greatly appreciated!
