Killed my plans for the night but all good. Ugly but think I got a handle on it. Thx @fishguy242

Spot has been sitting on the bottom of the QT all day, not eating and has some discoloration above his mouth....thoughts?

No idea, I trust you’re trying different foods, especially brine shrimp?

Thx @Mjl714 Yes we have tried several and they seem to like the frozen Brine the best so far. Was eating fine up until ah, last few days.

Gotta kick out of your “better half” description after initial confusion as to whom you might be.

We think you're right about hole in the head. Looks a little worse today. Black storm was a bully and went in the time out box. Did a 30% water change last night and have been trying to feed more frequently with better quality food to see if it will heal.

Hey Frank, sorry I was working on getting counter and cabinets in place in the fish room. I'll post out there right now and see what they say.Thx Frank!

Vetteguy suggested was a good idea to separate the aggressive fish and could help healing with melafix but not necessary at this time.
Heading to grab some and dose just to help give him if I can.

Poor little guys looks pathetic

 

[DiefsReef]

Got some help from Jay Hemdal and Vetteguy and think we got it under control.

I ran to the store and bought some malafix to help him along.
Dosed already and now it smells like tea in the fish room
The hurt fish seemed to be the aggressive one of the bunch at first, but the larger clown had worms when we got them. I think now that we took care of that issue he is much more the aggressor and I think these two where bonding so lots of squabbles going on.
The aggressor was really pushing all the other 3 around so I put him in time out
Out of the other 3, the hurt fish is the largest and the other 2 are just kinda hanging around him. No aggression at all so I think I did the right thing here.

Well I thought the clown was doing better but hes still not really eating. Just hanging out in same spot all day.
The bully of the bunch is not liking the new digs shes in I dont think. Wondering how long to keep it in the acclimation space. I guess until the other fish fully recovers.

Fishroom update:

New counter top and cabinets in place (still have to secure and level) sink in place and plumbed for drain.
Trying to decide if I'm going to DIY the feed lines to the sink or call someone. I think I can
Can you tell the dif between old and new cabinets?/ Prolly gonna bother me forever ;Blackeye and I really dont like the peg board on the wall but not gonna change that now!! Oh well, it'll work

I think the face is looking better.

Yes I agree, wish he'd eat thought. Wife thinks his lip looks damaged so maybe its hard to eat right now.

The cabinets look close enough the same in my opinion! ...and you never know when the pegboard wall will come in handy some day...

The other wall has pegboard as well. I find myself hanging all kinds of stuff just to get it out of the way. Now I need to clean that up as well
