if you think the wound on the tang looks like it came from a scuffle I believe you but it does surprise me. The PB can be rascal with the hippo tang but I’ve never seen the dominant desjardini do anything but glide past with her fins extended. She never poses or shakes her tail fin or even chases. I hate to imagine what the Pb did to deserve her bad side but I’m sure he must have deserved it. If it is a wound from a tang fight I’m glad the pb was the one injured. It assures me that the tangs hierarchy is stable and my benevolent desjardini dictator remains firmly in charge.
but as for the rabbitfish. How contagious is his affliction? I don’t feel pressed to resort to quarantine and medicine unless the rabbitfish is a threat to other fish in the tank. Since the Pb was injured A little while before the rabbitfish’s disease showed up, I assume it can’t be that easy to spread or the Pb wound would have been infected too. No?
