I recently added a Kole tang to my tank. It was doing great but yesterday when I came home I noticed it frantically darting back and forth in the tank and the barbs on its tail were extended and noticed a vertical scratch on one side of its body. Today the barbs are still extended and it looks as thought the skin around the barbs may be deteriorating. Could this be fin rot? The fins themselves look fine, and other than the scratch on its body and the tail barbs I see no other lesions. It hides whenever I get close to the tank so I have not been able to get a picture yet. It does not seem aggressive toward any other tank mates and none show signs of aggression towards it. It does appear to be eating normally. Water parameters are:
Ammonia - 0
Nitrate - 10
Nitrite - 0
Phosphate - 0
Kh - 12 dkh
Ph - 7.9
Calcium - 420
Other fish in the tank are 2 false clowns, 1 diamond goby, 1 bangai cardinal, 1 foxface. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
