I think one of my fantails suffered some ammonia burn because there are some black burn marks at the tips of it's fins and a little piece of skin looks like it came off of his forehead. I have a 20 gallon filtrated tank for 3 fantails at the moment. After changing the water 3 days ago, I checked the ammonia and nitrite levels and they look to be around zero. My question is, what kind of methods can I use to speed up the healing process?
