Trigger

[ByzantineWV]

Bought a Niger trigger yesterday. As soon as I put him in the tank he shoved his head between a rock and the back glass. Today he is out swimming but I have noticed a white line or scratch on his eye. But he has been fighting a little with a damsel. Also he is eating a bunch

Hmmm...you may think about putting him in a QT tank where he won't be stressed and treating him for the scratch. While he is there, I would also treat him for parasites "just incase" so he does not infect your tank. Stress already lowers his immune system. It's good that he's eating though!

Do u have any meds u you suggest

If you know it is an injury any antibiotic would help. For internal and external parasites there are a few products you can treat him with. I found a website that will give you some info on what to treat different issues with. It was easier than listing all of them. Hope this helps you!
