I have a Huma Trigger about 1.5 inches, Yellow Tang about 2.5 inch, and a Niger Trigger about 2 inches in a 40 gallon salt water tank. The tank has been running fine, but on Friday my Niger stopped eating and was not as active as normal. Actually, over time I have noticed that it has been staying in its little cave more often. I was not sure if the tang was intimidating it? We have been feeding it brine shrimp most of the time. I have some krill and added that, which it still didn't eat. So I tested my water, The PH was very high and did a water change. Everything else seems to be in range. I did a water change and the next day after everything was in range the Niger was still hanging in there but lying somewhat on its side. It occasionally moves from one area to another, but it's weak, It is also still retaining its coloring. Any suggestions would be Great.

Thanks
