I have a fantail goldfish. Her name is Wilma and she is over 5 inches long without counting the tail. She is a little overweight and got stuck in my aquarium today and some feeder fish nipped away at her tail and it is blood shot now. She is swimming on her side, upside down, and right side up now. I already put some Melafix fin repair in and romoved all of the feeder goldfish. What else can I do to help my fish?

What size is the tank? You could add some aquarium salt at 1 tablespoon per 5 gallons of water, and you could add a drop of quick cure per gallon if you have it, to kill anything off that might try to attack the damaged fins. Also make sure the water quality stays good to help the healing process.
