Hello, I came home from work last night to find a 1/2 inch gash, clean cut on my ocellaris clownfish. The clown is almost 3 inches long, at least 1.5 years old. The gash is just above his pectoral fin on his right side, closer to the face and up to his dorsal (top) fin.
It looks like a clean cut and I think its from my only tang, A Dussemeiri that I have had since thanksgiving 2008. She has never caused any problems. The tank is healthy. Its only a 75 gallon and I think aggression was the cause. I do not have a qt tank set up. I moved 2 months ago and had to downgrade from a 125 gallon 6' tank to my 4' 75. Any thoughts? Feed a little heavier and keep a close eye?
Thanks for the advice guys!
