Bla08kE Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Hey guys i have an e/yellow and overnight he got stuck in an ornament that was in the tank. It has got me stuffed how he got in there in the first place but it was a bit of a struggle to get him out ! When he got out i noticed he had a bruise type thing near his tail and head. He now swims on an angle like this | instead of _ . However, when i tried to catch him to check him out, he straitened up and flew like the wind. Could he have hurt its back or would he just be resting his sore tail ??? Help !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 If he has wounds it might be a good idea to dose the tank with melafix. I'd keep an eye on him & see how it goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YeW Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 If the wound means he's being harrassed by others I'd suggest confining him to (a) hospital tank or (b) a floatie. Dose with Alternafix or Melafix proactively. Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
