jprime84 Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 Only had him for 2 days, here he was yesterday eating up pods like a boss Firefish Goby by jprime84, on Flickr today he didnt come out for food. I inspected the tank a while and found him in a cave. That would have been fine except he couldnt seem to right himself. He drifted around the tank current breathing hard. I transfered him to a hospital tank, and he has some dark markings on one side: Untitled by jprime84, on Flickr They are more obvious in person. Still alive at the moment and he tries to swim some but still tumbles around. What can I do? EDIT: I have a couple larger aiptasia ive been meaning to take care of in the tank. Can they sting a firefish goby bad enough to cause this?
jprime84 Posted September 20, 2011 Author Posted September 20, 2011 ph 8.0, ammonia 0, nitrates 0, nitrates maybe barely over 0
drunkenmonk21 Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 Larger aptasia can kill a fish yes. I had a small clown try and host in one and it wrapped him up and he died shortly after. I nuked it the next day, dont wait to kill them! They can cause a lot of damage.
jprime84 Posted September 20, 2011 Author Posted September 20, 2011 Fish shop will replace the fish, and I will be getting some aiptasia-x also - this means war
