Hi all, I'm new here to the site and would appreciate any good advice for my Kribs.
We have a 4ft tank with a pair of Kribs and about 20 3w/o fry. All was going well untill Mama attacked Daddy and chewed off almost all of his tail fin...
I called the petshop after the first attack because he didn't look too good, he was laying on his side at the top and really breathing hard. They said to put him in another tank and when he seemed better put him back.
I did and it was a huge mistake because she attacked him worse than the first time. Within 15 minutes he had only a little tail left.
He now only has that little bit of fin at the top of his tail as the Tetras had a go at him...
I've put him in back in the other tank with the Tetras (who thankfully are leaving him alone now) but because he has so little tail left he spends his time nose down or upside down.
Does anyone know how long it might take for his tail fin to grow back?
Any advice on best way to deal with him? (And no, i will not flush him)
Thanks!
