:( :( :( :( hi im growing these three baby jardini aros, in a 4 footer atm, there about 4" i took them out and moved them to a 5 footer, then i moved a 4 inch salvini male into the 4 footer, i watched him to see if he would settle in and then i saw id missed one of the jardinis, the salvini rushed up to it, grabbed it whole head its the salvinis mouth , then he spat it out and the aro had lost an eye. he swimming around a bit dazed now.. im not sure what to do, ive moved the salvini to another tank. and traeted the injured aro to a whole tank percentage amount of melafix, and given some blood worm. what can i do now? the lights are off.

any feed back would be grateful :WHOA: :swear:

Hopefully it can pull through. Dont know if it will make it though, usually most fish in these situations die but i hope yours has the will to go on.

Not much you can do really, damage is done so if it picks itself up then it will be fine. See how you go for a week.

Well the eye isn't going to grow back unfortunatley.

Fish can survive with one eye, you just have to make sure that they get their fare share of food. This is important when juvie.

Once they get bigger they are fine.

Damage is done. One question, If you only had three, how do you miss one?
