I took a couple of my giant danios out of my 55g to put in the lower 30g. They are darn fast, and after I got the second one out, I noticed one of the tiger barbs was injured.
I'm not sure if he was already hurt, or if while running from the net he ran into something.
He looks like he got a swipe taken out of his lower side right underneath the pectoral fins. There is a gash like a bit taken out, the pectoral fins seem to be gone, and he has something white hanging out of him that looks like intestine. He is not laboring too much to breathe, but also not swimming around too much. Didn't eat when I put food in the tank.
I put him the lower 30g. The reason I was moving the 2 danios over to that tank was to live there for a while and provide fuel for the bio filter. I used plants from old tank and filter media from my old tank, so they should be OK.
No meds on hand tonight to try.
Should I let him go and see how he does? Meds? Euthanize?
