Hello everyone,
I’m fairly new to the hobby and I have a dottyback I got a few weeks ago from my LFS that isn’t looking so good. He was fairly active and even a little aggressive at first but has started eating less and hiding significantly more during the day. He does seem to scrape his side against the rock at times and will dart around rapidly at times as well. He seems to be much more active at night now which is different than initial behavior… I’m honestly not sure what to do. My LFS thinks this may just be aggression from another fish but I’ve never seen anything mess with it and the other fish seem to ignore each other for the most part. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
