[charmerang]

Did you already at API Aquarium Salt? if so, I would just leave him alone for the night and try to get the melafex tomorrow...

 

[xxwolfpackof1xx]

okk idk when i can get it though :/

 

[xxwolfpackof1xx]

update: hes stabalized no longer laying on side slightly gaspiing but stabalized non the less

 

[needmorecowbell]

That's great.. Wow he is a tough fish. I wonder how long he was in there?

 

[charmerang]

That's great news! I still recommend the melafex though to help heal his fins.

 

[xxwolfpackof1xx]

i will try but im not even 100% sure if mine has it

 

[charmerang]

Do you have a Petco or Petsmart?
They should probably have it, I go to Petsmart and they normally keep it by the water conditioners.

API™ MelaFix® Antibacterial Fish Remedy - General Medications - Medications - PetSmart

So... about $7.
It's also anti-bacterial so that should help reduce the risk of infection while his fins are healing!
Keep us updated!

should i still see if my mom will buy that melaflix stuff this afternoon if hes not dead?

 

[meegosh]

I'm glad he is looking better. If that happens again, bring him to the surface so he can get some air. Gouramis are labyrinth fish, meaning they can breathe air. They need to surface and get a gulp of air every once in a while.

I would maybe shoot dkpate a private message and see what she did with her DG. It got stuck between a rock and the side of the tank and got scratched pretty bad. She treated him with something and he recovered nicely.
