So the past couple of days my one spot foxface has been hiding out in the rocks and is browed out. I have had him about a year now and he has always been the center of the tank. I have seen him get his color back once over the last few days but not for very long and I have not seen him eat anything. Also my cleaner shrimp has been hanging around him a bit. It is hard to get a good look at him back in the rocks but as far as I can tell other than his coloration everything seems to be okay - no white spots, injuries, tail rot, etc. Water is good, all other live stock seems to me normal (corals and fish alike). Tank is a 76 gal display and about 25 gal in the sump. I change out about 10 gal each week (as opposed to a large water change monthly). Filter socks are swamped out every 3 days.I am going to check my water again when I get home but 24 hours after the water change (after noticing my sick fish) everything was good, my salinity was a little low (30 verse 34) but I have corrected that and my Nitrates have always run high but since I have changed to a weekly water change schedule vs monthly I have kept it around 5-10ppm. Any thoughts on my sick fish? I am going to attempt to rig up a QT tank of some sort tonight and then see if I can get him out without stressing him out any more than he already is.
