![]() Hello!
So I had intended my first post on this site to be a general introduction and hello, but I'm afraid that will have to wait as something urgent came up today. I have a medium sized Sohal tang that has been in my 90 gallon display for 2 weeks now. He's acclimated nicely and now eats pretty much right out of my hand. He was purchased knowing that he will have a 230 gallon home to move to (under construction) as he grows and he is the only tang in the tank. I came home from work this afternoon to discover that his left defensive scalpel is 'stuck' in an extended position. His only other tank mates are a pair of cinnamon clowns, a female lineatus wrasse, a cleaner wrasse (which eats voraciously, though he was definitely an un-researched impulse purchase) and a neon dottyback. water parameters are: ammonia 0 nitrites 0 nitrates - under 5 ppm SG 1.025 25 degrees calcium 550ppm alkalinity 11.7 pH 8.2 If anyone has ever seen an injury like this, or knows what could have happened I would greatly appreciate the feedback. Better yet, if anyone knows how to treat this injury before he rips the scalpel clean off on a rock or injures another fish that would be sweet. Thank you! |
