hole in my baby maroon?

[raisingtwo2006]

I figured it was just where the big girl is nipping at him.. but it started as a 'nip mark' and now it looks like an open hole!! it has gotten bigger, and is still very tiny- but what should I do? Or is there anything that I can do?

Thanks!!

If you don't have a sump or QT tank, put it in one of those hampster balls that you can get a Petsmart. It's the ball that a hampster uses to roll around on your floors. Put the Maroon in it to recuperate, because the other fish will continue to nip at it. I tied mine off to one side away from the normal hang out of the other fish, and you don't have to aclimate it to another tank, just have to catch it. This may also help the other Maroon to get used to the little one and allow it to get well and bigger.
