[jboone82590]

This is the first time posting a help post.
Most of the stuff i look on the internet and find the answer.
Not this time.
My yellow watchman goby its in big trouble.
What does everyone think it is?
What are treatments?
I will be setting up a QT in a few to put him in.

I'm not sure if you intended to or not, but there arent any photos attached to your post. EDIT: Beat me to the picture side of things!

We'll also want to know your tank parameters (as many as you can provide) and more about the goby. How long have you had him, has he been eating, any new additions to the tank?

What are we looking at? No pictures no explanation.....

 

[jboone82590]

He is missing his whole tail fin.

I have not seen him or the other one of the pair for weeks or more. I think more then a month. I thought they where both dead.
Everything else is doing perfect.

I have not been able to do a param check for 3 days.
Been doing a detox dose.

I just sent my water off not that long ago to triton. Nothing was off except a few metals. Aluminume and a few other trace elements.

Yes its gone.
I have not seen him for the better part of a month so i have mo idea if he was attacked or if hes been eating or anything.

what other fish do you have in the tank?

 

[jboone82590]

I did add a sculpus tang a week or 2 ago.
Hes not aggressive tho. Him and my molly are best buds.
Also a clown fish but he also is not aggressive.

Do not be fooled by clown fish .. they can be killers .. but i dont think they bite that big

Thhey are not that big them selvs.
They dont pick on anything else either.

How did you quarantine the new tang?

 

[jsker]

I agree with @Jason mack I had two percula clowns that killed everything and ate everything I put in the tank. They were wild and mean. Unless you have a hitchhike, like a crab that would be the only thing I can think of.
