Hello everyone,
When doing my daily maintenance on my tank today I noticed damage to my firefish's eye/surrounding tissue. Please see attached video.
I've had her for 4-5 months now and she has always been amazingly healthy. While I've noticed the six-line be aggressive towards her in the past, it was always minor fin-nipping during feeding time without much conviction.
Personally I believe the six-line caused the damage. In the video attached, I recorded the six-line being MUCH more aggressive than usual. I'm planning on moving the six-line to my frag tank tomorrow regardless. I just need a second opinion here to decide if I should begin treatment for pop-eye, as I'm not sure if the wrasse was getting extra nippy because he knew my sick firefish was an easier target, or if he is directly responsible for the damage.
Thanks
