clownfish problem

josee1013

trying my best at this...
Our clownfish occelaris couple lays eggs every month.

The female is really agressive toward the other fish in the tank for her eggs.. 2 months ago she got bitten (we dont know which fish did it) on her doral fin...

it's deteriorating and we dont know what to do...

here's a video of her... clic on the image:



please help us
 
Well if it were my fish I would probably just keep the water quality good and hope it heals. If you wanted to set up a treatment tank you could use an antibiotic. If the fish is still eating and acting like normal I would leave things alone.
 
I would suspect it was the tang....I thought I saw a tail of one swim by in the video. We had a yellow tang in with our mating pair that had to go into another tank because of the aggression we'ld see with the pair when there were eggs present. Our tang ripped open and took a gash out of our female clown's fin as well...after almost a year, it's pretty much healed up. Didn't stop her from laying eggs and continuing on with her normal day to day activities. Good luck with yours!
