Go4Long Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 I have a non-dominant taiwan reef in my 250 gallon, the big dominant male LOVES to chase this guy around to no end, yesterday while I was cleaning the tank I noticed a big chunk of flesh missing from the side of the little guy, I'm wondering if this could realistically be caused by battle damage?

Lana Bollers Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 I have a non-dominant taiwan reef in my 250 gallon, the big dominant male LOVES to chase this guy around to no end, yesterday while I was cleaning the tank I noticed a big chunk of flesh missing from the side of the little guy, I'm wondering if this could realistically be caused by battle damage? I think it looks like a war wound... my big blue cobalt had one that looked similar, and it is now slowly very slowly healing, I decided to treat the tank with parasite clear, and I think that is helping... either that or it is coincidence...LOL... I hope you lil guy will be okay... Lana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randy Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 It could be a war wound, Is there white stuff around the would or is that just scales. Keep an eye on it for any infection and insure you water peramaters are well maintained. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parachromis1 Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 I would keep your water very clean, add a little salt as well. IMO don't use meds yet, but make that fungus or something else doesn't take over. I'm by no means an expert, but i'm sure if you do as stated all will turn out fine!!

Boom Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Melafix baby! Dose him good. Looks like it will easily get infected if it isn't already. The melafix will help prevent that. Boom :boom: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
