Scissortail goby hurt

[Ozelaf44]

So i was feeding my tank, and right when the flow kicked on one of my gobies darted to his rock which is normal, but he slammed himself into the rock, afterwards he looked like hes breathing very heavy, and it looks lime he can’t control his top fins or tail. Hes struggling to swim with the flow.

Ill keep you guys updated if his current condition changes. Has this ever happened to anyone before? Any tips or help?

 

[Ozelaf44]

Might not be the biggest emergency, sorry^

If you have an acclimation box I would put it in there to keep everyone away for a cpl days to see if it comes out of it.

If I’ll ever be able to catch him, his friend legit helped him swim into their little cave which is under the foundation rocks. Very cute but also very annoying

Watch for indications of a spinal injury. They happen way too often. It presents as the fish swimming head up tail down. Not much you can do as it is internal damage. Sometimes they heal on their own; sometimes not.

Nope, I saw his friend one time this afternoon, then his friend went back into the cave, I’m guessing with the other one too.

 

[Ozelaf44]

With the hurt one too*

 

[Ozelaf44]

He finally came out today, he looks fine!

 

[Dragon52]

Great to hear.

Does anyone know if this is a parasite or a sign of something? Its been getting longer for the past day or so

Stringy "and" white poo is a great concern and can often be internal parasites.
