I have a sad problem. I made the mistake of mixing several fancy goldfish with a Koi. Everything was okay until one of the larger goldfish died making the Koi the biggest in the tank - the Koi is about 6 inches long.
Just on Sunday night (Jan 16/05) the Koi attacked one of the fancy goldfish and pulled its eye out. He was bleeding but 24 hours later it stopped.
I moved the fish to another tank by himself and added some Melafix at the correct dose. I managed to find a pet store that would take back the Koi so that's no longer an issue.
Any thoughts on my fish's survival? Anything else I can do besides treating it with Melafix for 7 days?
BTW...the fish was also starting to develop fin rot so I need to treat that too with the Melafix. What's your experience been with Melafix - does it work well?
