First off he is not sick rather then badly hurt. A purple firefish goby. The thing is my friends fish tank started crashing so he got rid of his fish and had a Arabian DottyBack. He asked me about it and I liked it. Made the mistake of putting it in my tank bc I disnt know he would wind up being aggressive. Actually he isn't to any of my other fish which are two clowns, one foxface and one brown scopas tang. He wasn't even mean towards my goby until about a week after being put in during feeding he started becoming aggressive towards my goby and kinda hurt him a little bit. Well the goby got smart and found out the clownfish didn't like the dottyback around their rock so they wood chase him away when he got close. So the goby started staying over by the clownfish and the clownfish didn't bother the goby. I just got home and while I was on my way my girlfriend called freaking out saying the female was really attacking the goby and hurting him very badly and kept chasing him away. Btw they have not bothered him for the last 6-7 days. Idk maybe it's bc the clown is about to lay eggs again I don't know. So I came home an sure enough caught her in the act. He finally got away and next thing you know the dottyback started messin with him. But not to rough. Guessing it's bc he realized he was hurt idk. I just got a ziplock bag and filed it with water and put my goby...the hurt fish in there until morning. I've been trying to find somewhere to get rid of the dottyback so the goby will not be bothered. Finally talkedto a fish shop today md they said they will take him in. I wasn't going to be able to bring him til Monday. And now my goby is really badly hurt.
I know I should have done some research about the dottyback before I put him in there. I feel so bad that this happened I could literally cry if he dies bc of my stupidity.
If he makes it alive in te morning is there anything I should do to help him? If there IS anything I can do?
