Hello, I'm trying to figure out what I can do to help my goby.
My high-fin banded goby, Ziggy, has picked a little crevice between the rocks as his home. He'll hover near it with his tail pointing towards it and periodically dart backwards down into the rocks.
I've noticed that on more than one occasion, he has torn his fins on the rocks. He's been the only fish in a Fluval Evo 13.5 with a peppermint shrimp and a snail being the only other residents at the time.
In the past, he has torn half of his right pelvic fin off. That's grown back now but a couple days ago, I noticed he had split his right pectoral fin in half along the rays.
Is there anything I should do to help him heal? Or something I can do to prevent him injuring himself?
