Tony s Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 (edited) ouch, maybe try and pull him and dab some methylene blue on the damaged area. being careful to avoid the eyes. this should eliminate the fungus. if any. which would be my main concern. Then, it's all on him and how much he can heal the missing tissue. maybe not a lot, but some. besides keeping an eye out for fungus, not a lot you can do either. maybe softening out the place where he got stuck or making it bigger so he can't do it again. i might add in a few catapa leaves as well. they'll darken your water, but help prevent infections.

Colu Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 (edited) Keep Stable water parameters you can add a small amount of aquarium salt 1 table spoon for 10 gallons that will aid Gill function and add essential electrolytes and as @Tony srecommended add Indian almond leaves as they have antibacterial and antifungal properties you might have to add one leaf per gallon to get a beneficial effect and monitor if you notice any Reddening or fuzzy appearance then would do a course maracyn and ick x Edited March 25 by Colu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colu Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 (edited) I would feed what you usually feed it might take it longer to eat so you want enough food to reach the bottom of tank for it to have time to eat it share @Mr.catfish Edited March 26 by Colu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
