Hi guys,
Just a little background info..
Have had my blue tang for 2 years, very strong fish, has fought of ich many times. A little prone to injury, hitting self on rocks etc. When first started marine, like many people didnt know too much. So he has been in a 75gal (4ft) for 2 years. Finally decided to put him in the bigger tank 5ft 100gal which he is loving. Shouldve did this ages ago.
Whats wrong?
The day before the move the tang inflicted the most serious head wound he has ever made on himself and right above his head is missing a sizeable chunk of flesh, right down to the bone. Now i know this will head over time, is there anything I can do to help this along?
All I can think of is ensuring water quality is above excellent at all times and ensuring a bacterial infection doesnt ensue. Before the move the injured area looked very red, but since the cleaner shrimp has found him the injury is a lot cleaner.
To tell you the truth I nearly vomited when seeing the injury.
Can any provide any more tips? Meds? Anything? As far as the BT goes the injury is not effecting his appetite, movements or other fish. You would think the injury is not there, he is acting per normal
Please help me ASAP!!
