fin damage

Yesterday my Eheim Skim started shooting bubbles, and when I went to clean it, my Mandarin popped out. I am shocked it fit through the weir, going to need to buy a guard off Etsy or wrap it in netting. Anyways, luckily there is a sponge between the pump housing and the impeller, but it seems...

2 days ago i’ve added a chalk bass, a cleaner shrimp and a firefish all at the same time to my 80gal tank already inhabiting 2 snowflake clownfish and 2 pijama cardinals. The cardinals are the most peaceful thing on earth and stay out the way but my clownfish have accepted my bass and shrimp...

Gem Tang help please! Eating like a champ. Not afraid of any tank occupants/not getting bullied. My current theory is bacterial infection from transport or something, that got infected. Had for about a week. Can’t see in photo, but there is a small area that is whitish near the base of the area...

I have caught him jumping through the net a few times which seemed to damage his dorsal fin a bit but it was only a small rip. I fixed the jumping issue and added a plastic lid. Recently i noticed the top fork of his tail wasn’t standing and was drooping now but now it looks the worst it has and...

Hello, this afternoon as I was feeding my fish I noticed that one of my black clowns weren’t coming out to eat as this one always does. He always gets bullied and bit so I just thought he was hiding for a moment. But then 5 minutes went by he still wasn’t out and his buddy always kept swimming...

This is my wife and I’s first foray into salwater. Our tank has cycled and got a pair of clowns. One of the little guys had been isolated from others since they were being aggressive and even nipped his caudal fin. The store associate ended up giving him to us for free as a pair to another...

My wife recently picked up this beautiful clown. Not sure what kind he is but his pattern is quite unique. He was sold as a “premium” clown from Petco at one of their magnet stores meaning they get all the good stuff. Their tanks are pretty immaculate and they even have saltwater specialists...

Hello R2R, I just got this Biota Yellow Tang delivered yesterday and noticed right out of the bag that it had some fin damage. The dorsal and pelvic fins seem to be mostly affected as it looks to be a lot more transparent and a little lighter in color than the rest of the fins and the spines...

Hey I’m curious about my niger trigger fin. Iv had him for 3 months and I noticed his bottom fin was damaged. He has been eating regularly and it seems to not bother him. I’m not sure if it’s fin rot or a mechanical damage. Any thoughts? Thank you!

Hello all. So I’ve had a baby Mandarin Dragonet for about a year now. I recently added a clown to his tank, and watched the clown bite down directly on the dragonet. Obviously the clown has been removed, however the dragonets horn has been shortened down to about where the line is in the picture...
