Dottyback thinks she's a seashore

[thabo]

Fridmani Dottyback has been acting weird recently.
She's been hiding in the corner of the tank and not eating much.
Been trying to feed her directly by dropping food down a tube to get corner.

She has also been losing a but if her striking bright pink color.

Today she started hiding vertically at the top of the tank behind the return

Is it time to prepare a casket or is there something I could try do?

I know that many of you have warned that my tank is overstocked and that one of the Dottybacks will kill the other eventually

Do you know how old she is? Could just be age. She looks rough, but no obvious signs of disease or parasites.

Well, sounds like you're learning the hard way.

Got her 3 months ago.
She has come in to the shop in a new shipment about 2 weeks before that

I hope she comes around, but it does not look good. Sorry.

Doesn't look like she's gonna make it.
Made moved her to the sump just to keep away from the others but I don't think it's going to help much

Kid's trying to be brave

As expected it didn't survive.
Just wondering if there is a small ulcer on the side of the head?
If it is, what could it be and what must I look out for / how do I treat the other fish?

"one of the dottybacks will kill the other...." What species of dottybacks do you have? This one sure looks like it was attacked.
