hello there, my panchax goldie has been attacked by one of my swordtails ( junior) his in really bad nick, and finds it best to just lay on his back in the breeder trap that swimming upright. ive been watching very closely, fins are hugely damaged, and the scales around his head are also missing.
first thing i did was removed the troublemaker from the tank. this seemed to help a little, and placed him in the breeder trap. i also added some stresscoat to help him heal a little better and to restore his slime coat.
its been about 8 hours since i placed him in the breeder trap, and his seeming a little better, i tend to help him a little by moving a current over him to help him restore his right way up, and placed some worms in there so if he decides to eat it will give him some energy.
i gave him about a 20 % chance of living through the night. because his upside down, moving his fins slightly and his gills are still moving.
can anyone think of any other ways to help him before he has his uncalled for assault into a murder??
