The cichlid Man Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 Hi all, I was just wondering if a frontosa Gill plate is damaged will it repair itself or do you need to cut off the excess and hope it grows back. My cousin has a 6 bar juvinile and it was attacked by a livingstonii and its gill plate is flared outand half of it has come of at the top. Any help is appreciated Regards, Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest big bad burundi Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 It wont grow back ben best you can do is isolate the fish see how much repairs itself. Good luck I have female with only one gill plate she holds fine . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeW Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 Ben - These things dont normally regrow. But assuming it does not lead to further health problems from infection your fish should be fine. If you see signs of fungus I'd recommend malachite green and some rock salt to promote healing and reduce the osmotic stress on the fish.
