drunkendj Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 I added in a red devil to my aquarium a couple days ago. He picked on everybody in the whole tank but the oscars were the slowest so they had the most damage. One oscar got his fins nipped pretty badly and one is in critical condition. He is hardly moving and he is struggling to breathe. I noticed it this morning and quickly switched the red devil out of the tank. He's survived so far but who knows... Is there anything I could do to promote healing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albertan Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 1. Excellent filtration 2. Bump the temperature up a bit 3. Add an airstone for good aeration Good luck. How big is the RD? They don't generally play too well with others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
