I've got 5 Tiger Barbs setup in their own 10g tank. And noticed a few of them today have small rips on their fins. Nothing major, or affecting their swimming - but I picked up a bottle of melafix a couple weeks back to treat shell rot on one of my crayfish setups.
The bottle mentions to remove carbon from the filter - IF POSSIBLE. How much will this affect a small treatment to help speed up the heal on the fins? The filter is nasty and I'd rather not tackle tearing up the filter to dump the carbon out. Like I said, its not a BIG wound, but I don't want it to get worse - and since I already have the medication I'd figure to give it a shot.
Any info?
