they dont seem to eat that much, they have only been in ther since tuesday though, I saw the one snatch something off of the rocks, the pseudochromis is eating well though and he has totally stopped bothering the clowns so I geuss they are just settleing in, I am gonna start hatching brine shrimp this weekend I think, and ill get them some different food also to entice them, I have bio-blend small pellets(more like tiny disc shaped pieces)now which says its for finicky fish, but ill get some other stuff this weekend | |

ok, I'll pick some up sunday, also thinking of getting a cheap brine shrimp hatcher and just hatching them for the fish, that way they will swim around till they get eaten rather then sink in the tank | |

Its looks to be a simple bruise maybe hit a rock I'm . As for a freshwater dip LOL I'd never have or never would apply that as a cure for anything.. If people under the physiology of the marine fish more would stop the practice And I don't even love animals (: I like them but if one needs to be put down I'll do it no problem. I just hope I can get the same treatment if or ever needed. But I have shoved a hood through a few worms butts LOL and ate .. Just Let the fish be a few days the stress of removing it if you can even would do it more harm then good. Oh physiology that is a real word right ?
