Pink spot goby beat up

[Mr. D]

My starry blenny basically roped him apart.. If he survives the night how long do you think my starry blenny could live in my 12"x16" refugium space?

 

[carey]

He'd prob be ok for awhile but youll need a long term solution or it will happen again most likely. I hate when fish dont get along with others, lol. I had to put a dottyback into my 125g cause he was just viscious with the other fish in the biocube.

 

[Mr. D]

Yeah... I hate it to! I have a spare 30gl in storage right now that I had planned on using as a quarantine at some point. If I can ever get this thing out he will be going there or a friends. Any tips for getting this guy out?

That'll be a tough one unless you can trick it some how. Bigger more free swimming fish are a lot easier to catch.

I recently broke my entire tank down to catch the 7 fish I have in my system to treat and QT for white spot. Never again lol

 

[Mr. D]

Yeah... I had to put my pink spot in the sump so he could relax until I get this guys out... His fins are so messed up but I may try to use the bottle trick and feed from inside my net until they get hungry enough to eat out of it

 

[begginersluck]

That could work. Put the bottle right near where his territory is hopefully this is away from the other fish and he may just go in first. Good luck

 

[Mr. D]

Thanks.. I caught my melanarus wrasse in the bottle but after about 7hrs total caught my blenny and put my pink spot in the display... He's so beat up in a matter of hours that they were together in a 75 considering they are only 3 and 4 inch fish
