Bruised tiger barb

[maligatormom]

yesterday my hubby took one of the tiger barbs we have to put inQT( tank scraped his eye) and kind of bumped one of the other barbs. It's a red spot today and a little pink on the other side by his gill. He has eaten and is still acting normal. Do I put him in the QT tank or just leave him? All parameters are totally fine just changed the water. 75 gallon.

I would leave him in as a scrape should heal over time, keep your eye on it just incase it gets an infection, in that case, he would have to come out..........

Ricky's right, that'll heal in a snap as long as the water is great and there's no one else in the tank to harass him. Tiger Barbs are known to pick on the weak, sick, dead or dying.
