So I had a crappy day to say the least. I'll start from the beginning; Yesterday I noticed (once the lights went on) that my new lionfish had a nipped up fin
I watched the tank closely for a long time (even stood back off to the side as not to be noticed) and the other fish in the tank all ignored the lionfish. I figured something was up though because his fin didn't nip itself. I checked on him this morning and there was no more damage done to him so I thought maybe he'd be ok. Unfortunately when I got home from work his other fin was all nipped up
I knew this wasn't a good sign and even though I never saw any of my fish nip at him, I knew one of them (pretty sure it was my Toby puffer) had to be nipping him. So as much as I hated to do it I had to re-home my new little lionfish
However thank-you Doo for being able to provide him a good home on short notice. It was very hard to say good-bye to him but it would of been much worse to come home tomorrow and find him hurt even more or worse dead
On top of all that the little blenny I had to re-home (to my boyfriend's Dad's tank) yesterday, had to re-home because the poor little blenny kept going into the overflow in my tank. Well I found out today that he is getting picked on by a hawkfish in his new home
Apparently the hawkfish beat him up and then the blenny darted into the rock at the back of the tank and Steve's Dad hasn't seen him since
So needless to say it's been a craptastic evening *sigh*
