So l was sitting here watching my 5 little Skunks swim happily through their 2 Anemones and noticed that the little disfigured fins are starting to look more and more “beat up”. Just a few thing a l thought could have caused this what do you all think?
l know their has been a little bit of nipping and chasing, as expected until they get hierarchy established, but never saw anything major. None of the activities last long and everyone goes back to usual business after 2 seconds or so.
l do also have a lonely Percula in the tank that seems to like these little guys. His mate died over the spring and now has company again.
l see the 3 Blue green chromis “flash” (Shake their body with all fins extended) every so often bit similar to hierarchy, doesn’t last long and never any contact is made.
Other than that could it be a case of finrot? These guys are Relatively new (3weeks) so could be possible. If so what other symptoms come associated with finrot.
FEEDING
l have seen all 5 eat consistently, twice a day, as well as make sure the Anemones are also well fed. They eat LRS Reef Frenzy In the AM and RODS Food Original Blend in the PM.
ACTIVITY
During the Blue photo periods, 6AM to 11AM/7pm to 9:30pm, they stay Relatively close to both Anemones.
During the white photo period, 11AM 7PM they swim shoaled with the Chromis.
They are always active and alert, and of course hungry when l walk up to the tank.
