He went missing today and I thought he was hiding or jumped out. he managed to get into my hob and my friend helped me find him. I should have left him in there but I was worried so I got him back in the tank, I don't know if the other fish are going to pick on him because he is hurt. I know it sounds dumb but he has been a favorite of mine and is one of my most social fish..  if anyone has any ideas on how to help him heal if I can separate him again or anything I can do please let me know!

It's too early to call. I may try later. I would use Garlic Oil and a little overfeeding to prevent parasites and infection from taking advantage of a hurt fish. See complete information in the Reefkeeping Tips below "Secrets of adding new fish, fish training and the miracle of Garlic Oil." Otherwise, as the tank is fed a little more, aggression will be reduced and the fish will heal. ------------- Reefkeeping Tips, & quick, easy setup tricks: www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9244 Pay it forward - become a paid WMAS member

If you don't already have one, then the best thing you could do for your fish is place a cover over the top of your tank so he doesn't do it again or actually make it to the carpet. ------------- 335G Reef TOTM. http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2015/2/aquarium ReefKeepers TOTM Feb. 2012 http://reefkeeping.com/joomla/index....k-of-the-month & |
