Hi all, I added a small Royal Gramma to my display on Saturday. it looked fine in the store but yesterday I notice a few pale spots on his fins. His tail fin is battered and torn and I thought (prayed) it could just be the striations healing or something. Today I don’t think so. I can’t definitively say if the spots are more noticeable today or if I just subconsciously discarded the notion that ignorance is bliss and have decided to face the music. Regardless I’m pretty worried, I’m not sure if it’s Lymphocystis or Ich or something more sinister. It’s been eating well, a combination of Mysis soaked in Selcon and LRS Frenzy. My cleaner shrimp has also paid special attention to him, following him around the tank like a shadow. I hardly ever see my cleaner shrimp service the other fish. See below for pictures and videos, all advice, expertise and opinions are greatly appreciated!
FYI I did not quarantine. I know that’s irresponsible but the misses would only sign off on a single tank in our small NYC apartment. That being said, maybe I could persuade her for a hospitalization tank if it’s serious. Kind of an “ask for forgiveness not permission” thing.
