So I've finally acquired two Peacock Gobies, a male and a female! :hyper: I have a cave in the tank, and I feed them NLS, but I will try to start to condition them on frozen bloodworms and brine shrimp. Only problem is, the male has a severe case of "nemo" fin, and instead of two healthy fins, he has a bald nub that barely helps him swim. He seems a bit shy, but besides the fin he's quite healthy. I was wondering if his bad fin will hinder him from succesfully breeding or rearing the eggs? Here's a picture

The fin is that stick on his left...poor fella
 
Won't be a problem at all. If its genetic, some of the fry might have nemo syndrome.

Thanks, it does seem a little severe to be damage, maybe it is genetic...I just hope it skips a generation! :rolleyes: Again, thank you reverendturtle for advising these fish to me! I've only had them for a day, but they are wonderful little fishies! :hyper:
