Hey everyone. Here lately I've had something starting I've never had in all my years of fish keeping - multiple fish with ripped fins.
Over the last month we lost a copperband - due to aggression from a bellus angel we removed
Firefish - ripped fins
Gold assessor - ripped fins
And just now found our Royal Gramma with her fins shredded but trying to hang on.
What in the world could be causing this? Water parameters are good. The fish we currently have in this 125 are:
Foxface
2 clowns
Midas Blenny
2 Blue Chromis
3 Lyretail Anthias
Melanaurus Wrasse
2 Banghai Cardinals
Yellow Watchman Goby
Orange Stripe Goby
Cleaner shrimp
Blood red shrimp
3 peppermint shrimp
10-15 blue leg hermits
2 pistol shrimp
3 pitho crabs
Snails of all sorts
I recently added 3 Pitho crabs, and 5 very small blue leg hermits. The Pitho crabs have only been touching algae which is what we got them for. We also had a friend drop off a Red Pistol Shrimp, but it usually stays in its cave.
Any ideas on what could be happening? This is getting annoying quickly.
