well I moved the 10 convict fry into the 45 with my dragon gobies for growout a couple weeks ago. I thought the cons were 2 small to hurt them. a couple weeks ago, I was right. In the last weeks, the dragons were stuck to the glass alot more(all the time), constantly tring to swim up and up, bobing their heads out of the water. I didn't know why. After a while, I caught a few come bitting the fins of them. I studied them a bit more anbd fund that even there dorsals were in bad shape. The brosenetti will not even raise his dorsal its so bit up. They haven't been eating lately do to the stress, and the brousseneti looked quite skinny, but the peruanus still was bulging. I suspect the peranus is an egg-swollen female. will the fins grown back? what can I do o help them? I moved out the cons, and they calmed down
dragon gobies need help.

I agree with the salt and it wouldn't hurt to feed with live brineshrimp and black worms fo a while. As long as the fin base is not damaged tthey should grow back. Having some cover like pvc tubes or drift would should also help relieve stress.
THey are doing better, fins growing and gaining form every day, and the brosseneti is slowly fatening up again
Glad they're getting better.
