Hi all,
Can someone please help.
I got 3 chromis and a coral beauty on Saturday and put them in my Qt.
Chromis issues:
1) The biggest chromis (1) chases the other two every now and then.
Second day I noticed the tips of the tails of both #2 and #3 chromis bitten off. The tips were intact the day I got them. I read this is normal behavior for chromis. I think I will create partitions to keep them separate till they recover. Possibly the aggression will decrease a bit when I transfer to the DT.
Concern:
1) Both #2 and #3, on the tails where they are bitten, I am seeing a white deposit or growth (hard to describe). Like crusty salt deposit. It's not huge but it is there. What is this?
2) I also noticed #2 has a few scales raised a bit on the side and some pale red color at the base of the fin on one side.
Can someone advice if I can add API general cure? Will that take care of everything?
Coral beauty poor guy seems to be caught in all this.
Thanks for all help.
