hi, my tank has a maroon clown 4", a watchman goby 2", and a cleaner shrimp. inverts include my new RBTA, featherduster, snails, and hermits.
i bought the tank used 4 months established, now had it for 1 month. it is a 24g nano with a 150w 14k bulb. i owned a 70g fowlr for 8 years. i recently got the RBTA and it was went into hiding. a few days later i acquired a maroon clown. Last nite my maroon was hosting the anemone. it was still hiding in a hole for few days(4). so i turn on the lights today and my clown has all of its fins 20% gone, on both sides and the top. The tail fin is fine.
i dont understand.. the only fish that i have other than this is a watchman goby and its like 1/4 its size. i have a tunze 6045 that im sure this maroon cant get into bc of the grills on it. my only suspect left is the RBTA. what i dont understand is that how did ALL of its fins get damaged?? maybe the RBTA tried to eat it somehow multiple times?? now the maroon stays away from RBTA. sometimes he just and rubs against it but not like last nite.
im sooo freaking frustrated!! this hobby is driving me
!!!
ok so now the maroon has most of its fins cut up and some slime thing kinda looks like HLLE but sparing the head.. what is this? what do i do? could it have been a mantis shrimp bc sometimes i hear clicking noises? how long would it take for these fins to grow back?...
soo frustrated with this hobby and thinking bout just leaving the tank alone. just feed it, top off, and thats it.. no more purchases..what lives lives!..
