WAHHHH!!!
My lovely OHM Mooney!
Well, I moved their bowls around, while introducing new additions to each other. I put Mooney and another male on opposite sides of the top of my entertainment unit when doing so. Just a temporary thing, normally I keep both in sight of girls.
But, I was acclimating all the newbies before deciding who will live in the fishroom (I keep my faves and those that are readying for breeding in my living quarters).
Mooney had a stress attack at being alone, and ate half his tail!
I immediately cleaned his water (which was cleaned the day I put him there) added more salt, melafix and even a bit of antibiotic since he took of a good 3/4 or more of it. All he could reach, that is.
So....... then I put him back in sight of the ladies.Where he was all fine and happy. Then, when rotating their neighbours (I lilke to see whch females do better with what males to choose breeding), he starts trying to chew it up again! Luckily we saw him, and he could not reach any more of his tail but I am devastated. I guess my lovely little passive man just needs his girlie friends
