It almost looks to me like bite marks. Does the other one chase it?

I haven't seen it chase it.
It eats and acts normal

 

GSPs are very aggressive fish - they're generally best kept solo, but it can sometimes work out to have more than one in a large tank (55+ gallons). A lot of aggression can come at night in the dark. How big is the tank? I see one of them has a huge chunk out of his tail fin, and it looks like a definite bite and not just fin rot, so I'd say there's at least some bickering going on.

It looks like you have live plants in the tank. What SG is the tank at? If they're over 2-3", they should really be in at least 1.008 or above. Without that salt, they tend to be pretty susceptible to infection, which can make a small nip a huge problem.

Can get you to fill out the emergency template as well?

Its a planted brackish tank and the salinity is 1.010

Okay, long-term it's unlikely those plants will work out too well - from personal experience

Can you please fill out the emergency template? That's going to answer everything we need to know to help.

 

Just about to start my journey with Dwarf puffers.




Good Luck!
