Damaged Fin

[SPARTAN VI]

Made the mistake of adding a blue damselfish AFTER having a yellow tailed damselfish. The Yellowtail Damsel has been harassing the blue damsel for the past week, and just recently I noticed that 1/3 of his tail fin has been chewed off.

Is there any supplement or anything I can do to help repair the poor guy's fin?

Through my experience since the Yellowtail has already chewed off 1/3 of the Blue's tail he will continue harassing the Bue damsel until he is dead.


Turf wars suck!!

I fear the same. The yellowtail is a real territorial jerk, but he's way prettier than the blue damsel. If he doesn't quit picking on him, I may just bring the blue back to the LFS. Not sure if he's worth any extra trouble.

BTW I have heard of no treatment for fin growth. But if the fin gets infected with something then there are treatments. They grow back somewhat fast, if they are not still being chewed on.
