Looks more like damage from aggression from another tank mate. Would like to see this clearer under white lighting as pic is Very dark blueHello Everyone, Need some export advice to see what is going on with my watchman goby. He is eating but you could see the skin is pale and fin is cut. In the nano tank I have two clown, neon doddy back, tiger pistol shrimp and watchman. I am not sure if has fin rot or something else. Any suggestion is appreciated.
Those are the only fishes I have in the tank. Usually YWG is always hiding under his burrow but lately he is coming out of the burrow and sitting in corner of the tank.
I know the dotty back usually goes by YWG burrow. Any suggestion how I could make the YWG healthy? I am new to saltwater tank and its been running for 10 months.
Dottyback or pistol are suspects and it is damage from aggression and not rot. Who is messing with him. . . set your cell phone on video mode for about 40 mins and drop a little food and walk away - YOU MUST walk away as they know youre there. Often the aggressor is an aggressive monster at feeding timeThose are the only fishes I have in the tank. Usually YWG is always hiding under his burrow but lately he is coming out of the burrow and sitting in corner of the tank.
Do you recommend doing a QT tank and move the YWG there? I know the pistol and watchman were always together but now they went on their separate path. I appreciate everyone help.
Over QT tank you can use an acclimation box so it stays in same water conditions
