He's always running at the glass trying to bite me as soon as I enter the room...I think he finally hit the glass waaay to hard....

Anyone seen this happen before? and if so, what was the outcome

I'm currently treating a 12" golfish for similar injuries he sustained after crashing into the pond walls when I was trying to net him. His lips initially looked swollen but eventually he developed an infection and I've had to set him up in a hospital tank. His lips sluffed some skin and he had some blood red tissue furthur into his jawline. So far treatment with a combination of salt/bacterial meds/malachite green is going well. The goldfih can handle the salt well, I'm not sure about how your cichild would like it.

You might want to consider attaching a visual screen to your guy's tank to protect him from his own aggressive tendencies.
