Hi there,
I was cleaning my 45 gal goldfish tank in which I have one black moor and a ryukin. I use a python to clean my tank and I have a net on the end of the vacuum to prevent fish getting sucked in. Well apparently when I had my back turned the net came partially off and my black moor was completely sucked in. I reversed the pressure and he came out but now he has a laceration on his eye. I got some aquarium salt and melafix and plan on doing frquent water changes but I'd like to hear any other advice on what I should do. I'd also appreciate any insights on his prognosis, I've basically been bawling my eyes out since it happened which was yesterday. Thanks so much. EDIT: He is acting completely normal, swimming and eating as usual.
