Added a neon dottyback on Saturday. I watched for aggression since LFS said the dottyback might bully but should be okay since the royal gramma was there first. No signs of bullying.
Last night, the gramma didn’t come out during feeding and was a no show again this morning. Found it hiding in a rock crevice.
Came home and was about to set up the QT, and the fish was died. Looks like fins were nipped? Can a fish really be bullied to death in 48 hours? My other fish is swimming and eating fine.
75G DT, 18G sump
Salinity: 1.024
pH: 8.0
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 10
Stocking: Two clownfish, neon dottyback, yellow watchman goby, and lawnmower blenny
