murmade Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 I have a south american cichlid that got really beat up over night, :cry: It's in a 3 Gallon hospital tank now! I've added extra salt and water conditioner/stress coat, and upped the temp a little. Most of his fins are chewed up, and scales, and he's having some balance problems as well! Any other suggestions would help greatly! Oh and he's in the dark too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacey Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 Can't add much here....... Melafix seems to work pretty well for superficial fin and scale damage. (Although I'm sure you probably know that.) About the balance problem, I just don't know..... hopefully it's just stress from his recent assault and soon clears up on it's own. Good luck with him!

Vallisneria Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 Just keep the tank clean and as stress free as possible so he can heal up. As for the balance problem. If he got beat up he might have hurt his swim bladder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
