Help! Damsel missing tail

[Joseph3]

Hi all!

This morning I noticed that my damsel’s tail fin looks like it’s been completely chewed off. It’s a little red around the edges. He’s still swimming and eating just fine.

I’m planning on upping feedings until he heals. Do I need to do anything else like treat with antibiotics? I’d prefer to avoid setting up a quarantine tank if possible.

Thank you!

Get him out of the tank before the other fish kills him.

This is a victim of aggression and there is a chance for regrowth by isolating this fish or identifying and removing the aggressor. Likely another damsel or clown
