All,
Hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I have a 2-3 inch watchman goby which I've been keeping for approximately four years. The fish has been a trooper through my first 90 gallon tank and now a member of my 200 gallon system. Approximately a week ago, my wife and I noticed this red wound on his side. This is a tank with typically passive inhabitance and the watchman is typically the 'old man' of the tank left to his own devices. Only tonight has the watchman presented me with an opportunity to take quality pictures of this injury.
Recent additions to the tank coinciding with the appearance of the wound are two tiny snowflake clowns, a porcelain crab, and a harlequin shrimp. None of which appear to be interfering with the watchman. We have attempted to catch him for quarantine, however it appears we'd have to remove the majority of the rock work simply to catch him. At this time, we are choosing not to disassemble most of the tank and stress everything else for this watchman.
If anyone has any thoughts or opinions, please let me know. My google searches have failed me for the most part on this one. My local LFS is not quite sure what the cause may be.
