I have had a pair of true percs for about half a month now and one of them keeps getting worse and worse. It had a whitish bruise on its body when I bought it and had no dorsal fin. It was in a tank with a pair of lionfish (I know I was stupid to get it anyway, but I was wanting a new fish so bad). Well now it has whitish bruises all over its body and today I noticed that is tail was bitten or torn off. It looks like shredded paper. I don;t think there is anything in my tank that would nip at its tail. I have 2 yellow tail damsels(they and the percs get along fine) and one other true perc and an algae blenny. I have about 4 hermits and 10 nassarius and a pep shrimp. I have a 55 gallon and I run a skimmer and an emp 400.
I do not think this is ick because I think ick is like spots and not bruise like abrasions and I know clowns rarely get disease(I think?).
It hasen't ate good the past two days and I feel like there is nothing I can do for it. I just want to know what is wrong with it. I do not have a qaurintine tank and I know......very stupid. The other perc I bought is great and I have no problems with my other fish. My parameters are fine, except with a lil high trates.
Please help in anyway you can think of.
Thanks guys
