the valentini is my favourite fish by far so of course iwant to help him but when i went to check on him some of my hermits were eating his tail.ive since put him in one of my sump compartments containing live rock.he seems to have gained some movement of his tail and the color is coming back.i cannot get him to eat so this brings him to almost 24 hours without food.how long can he go before starvation worsens his injuries?

Please dont flush this little guy. He's been through enough. I would just let him go on his own terms in the comfort of his home. Then you dont wonder what if he made it after you flushed him. Weirder things have been known to happen. I have rescued fish before that I thought they had no chance only for them to prove me wrong, they fully recovered and are in new homes still to this day.

Sounds like your guy may not make it anyway but always good to keep hope.


Hope he pulls through, *hugs*
