@Sistawolf Yikes!

 

[Sistawolf]

Yup after moving all of my frags and LR to one side and him hiding.. I had to take out rock to catch him.. now I have him in a hang on little tank until I can get a qt ready.. he of course is double stressed but he wouldn't have made it through the night..
My situation now is.. WHY? Either the clowns booted him off the island and he refused to go until they took fin and all from him beat him until now everyone else sees something isn't right let me get a piece of the weak!! Or he's sick and they are trying to rid him..
Mind you.. even though months and months ago.. I saved him from ick and velvet.. he's always been super mean.. will attack me every time I put my hand in the tank.. and let another fish step up.. haha not happening. Now he's hanging on by a thread

 

[Sistawolf]

I was determined lol

 

[Sistawolf]

He refuses to smile lol I just can't get a good picture of him

 

[Sistawolf]

@melypr1985 @Humblefish do you see him in his hang on box in the bigger photo.. lol now what should I do

 

[Sistawolf]

I have a lot of work ahead of me.. but making sure he is safe was my first and only concern..

 

[melypr1985]

he's always been super mean.. will attack me every time I put my hand in the tank..

This right here makes me think female. I've never, ever had a male attack me. Not once. Only females. That's probably the issue. Sexual maturity and two females just won't mix at all. She sure does look to have gotten her hiney kicked good and proper too.

 

[melypr1985]

now what should I do

I would just give him rest tonight. See if he/she can recover with peace and quiet.

Hahah it blows me away cause she's always been the baby and the other two were older and bonded.. they have always allowed her to hang out.. the other two have been acting stranger than normal lately... maybe they mated who knows

Leave him in the holding box or set up qt

Leave him in the holding box or set up qt

He'll need the water flow and oxygen so the QT is the better option.

Got a sump?

 

[Sistawolf]

Got a sump?

I do but not enough room with my skimmer and stuff to put him in

 

[Sistawolf]

True.. here goes me staying up all night

 

[Sistawolf]

I have two tanks already established but one has baby phantom clowns and the other has the one maroon because he couldn't be added with the others after going without fish for 72 days.. immediately started attacking so he is by himself as far as clowns in his own 30 and the two babies are in a 14 biocube

 

[Sistawolf]

We don't mind a bit. I had another idea.... if you don't want to stay up all night and don't mind ruining your container there... you could drill many many 1/4 inch holes in it to allow water through, but not fish. Then he could be hung on the inside of the tank but separated from the rest until you can come up with a more permanent plan.

5g bucket and an air stone and heater you have a QT!
