hahaha.... a new sig for me... yoink

it would have to be a big crab to be able to cleanly cut it off like that - one that would definitely be noticed crawling around in a 20 gallon.
it getting stuck and breaking off makes the most sense i guess...i dunno...definitely out of the ordinary.

LMAO! I saw Ryan's sig and tried to imagine where that post was! Sure enough...

Hope your pal pulls through. That's a shocking injury I hope it doesn't get infected.

:pound: Thank-you Lance for helping me find hummor in the situation. :thumb:

Neal I've never seen a big crab in the tank but I did notice a very very small one so I don't think that's it, but I agree definately out of the ordinary.

Brett tanks for the concern, needless to say I was quite shocked and upset when I found him like that. Thankfully last night and this morning he seemed fine dispite his injuries. I'm hoping the melafix with fight off any infection and help him heal.

Unfortunately I have a meeting tonight after work and I wont get home until around 9pm so here's hoping he's still ok.

I hope the little fella mends up. I agree with the others. I can't see that injury being the result of a bite.

strange but very clean break you didnt happen to drop a knife in there? jkjk

Good news, despite his injuries frogfish seems fine :mrgreen: He's swimming around fairly normally, and he even ate (and kept down) 2 pieces of silversides :cheer2:

Also I have to say (even though it's stinking up my computer room something fierce, since that's where the tank is located) is: GO MELAFIX GO MELAFIX GO GO GO MELAFIX! Let your magic healing powers begin! It looks like his tail is already starting to heal and sort of looks like a bit of re-growth on it too. The red/pink kinda concerns me but I think that's just part of the healing process and I think it's normal.

I also think I saw the tail part, I tried to pick it up with the tongs (in order to take a closer look & remove it) but the frog thought I was trying to feed him and knocked the piece of ? (maybe tail part) from the tongs and then I couldn't find it again, it went under a rock I think.

No knives were involved in the making of the 1st pic.'s :lol:

so you were not trying for super fresh sushi then? cool

I think he'll be OK Laurie. As long as there is no infection fish heal incredibly fast as you know.
