I wouldn't worry too much if it's where her new growth is - with cuttlefish available she'll repair it herself very quickly  You could always buy some liquid calcium and add a couple of drops to your spray bottle. I use it all the time for mine, not just when they have a break. |

Very addictive indeed. I started with one fulica, he soon got a friend or two, now I have over 30 (I think, but I'm crap at adding up!). As for snails who can go in with fulicas, I have an iredalei in with mine and she's settled in well. But most other types (including iredalei usually) prefer warmer and more humid conditions, so you might need a new tank Good excuse for one, I think  |
