hi guy i dont think it is toserious but i have come back from my girlfriends 2nite to find 1 of my figure 8's eye's is very swollen an glazed he is in with another figure 8, 3 gs and a red claw crab in marine conditions , i was just wondering could they just be fighting or could it be something else? thanx for taking the time to read. MURPH

Please answer the questions in red.

First thing I can see is that F8's are not marine fish......

i know this now but when i got them i didn't, they have been in marine conditions for about a year now and are doin alot better in these conditions more colour and more personality so i decided to keep them in these conditions, people said they would die in 2-5 month but they are still goin strong.

anything will 'survive' for a certain amount of time in conditions it is not meant for.....but obviously it is no longer healthy. Not being in the proper environment makes it almost impossible to diagnose problems.

I suggest providing proper water conditions for the fish....

It would still help to answer all those Qs.

murph what happened to the larger tank you were going to get for the GSP when you got them back in October?

the deliverymen dropped it down 2 flights of stairs but coz i payed a outside delivery company i wasnt covered for damages and the delivery company folded after that so i couldnt get anything for them (no vulgarity here please! ~PP). all i was left with was a smashed to (if I see you using this language again, you're gone! ~PP) 5ft tank. just trying to save up again now. that say IF YOU WANT SOMETHING DOING RIGHT DO IT YOUR SELF! i now know why people say it.
