Here's my story and I'm looking for some advise. Yesterday I was unable to find one of my Yellow Labs, after looking high and low I was able to see a tail behind the wall of rocks at the back of my tank. It was the missing Lab. After 20 mins of working to get him unstuck from behind the wall I was successful!!!
He immediatly swan for cover and I noticed that he had some injuries (scratch body, torn fin, and a glossy, enlarged eye), so did the other fish in the tanks who went after him either for being injured or for being in thier cave.
After another 20 mins of me chasing him I was able to place him in a quaratine tank to recover.
My question is what should I do to assist him in the recovery from his accident. He is eating very well and trys to fight with other fish that get near the tank that he is in, but his eye looks very swollen and glossy.
Should I add tropical salt to the tank, and if so will this damage the live plants that I have in there?
Any advise would be great,
Thanks!!!
