aquanaut Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 Could some one please help? I came home tonight and noticed a pink sore on the tail of this fish. Do I need to treat this fish? If so with what? Or did my bristle nose cat latch on to it? The picture isn't great I will try to get a close up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOSStile Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 (edited) Looks like a wound to me. Edited October 21, 2005 by HOSStile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vallisneria Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 IT looks like a wound to me too. Cause be caused by a number of things. What are your other tankmates? Notice any aggression between them lately? But anyways, a good starting point to help this heal would be keeping the water very clean and then maybe add some melafix. Wounds are pretty common with africans as they are fairly combative. Just make sure your fish stays healthy and that the wound doens't get infected and it should heal quickly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RD. Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 Difficult to say by the size of that pic. A close up shot would help tremendously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquanaut Posted October 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 No real (Tyson ear eating) sparing going on :boxer: :boxed: ! I have done the water change with melafix added. The wound does seem to be getting better tonight. It's not the gaping hole it was yesterday. I will continue with the meds and clean water and see how it goes. Thanks all.
