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

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.

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

When out for a bit and when I got home I notice he has a stump where is hand on his arm used to be He's still breathing heavy and now I don't know what to think about what could of happened to his hand or what I should do about it

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

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.
