Firefish
My firefish is missing about 2/3rds of this top fin. I guess something got a hold of it. Copepod maybe!

I agree that it's girly if a copepod actually did the damage, but I have no evidence, so it is still Manly!

It might qualify as manly if it happened in a fight with another fish, but if the fin was actually injured by another fish that was trying to eat the copepod as it was kicking the firefish's butt ... that's girly.

They are just giving the firefish a hard time because it is frail looking and they have nothing better to do. Might be to compensate for their lack of confidence.

This copepod is like one of those cartoon creatures. It is so small you can't hardly see it. Then it approaches its target and opens wide like a Great White!

Quite possible. He must store it in a cave in the back.
