What should i do to heal up my dorado fast? The wolf and dorado were working out okay but i guess the dorado decided to challenge the wolf....the wolf is not very aggressive just defensive......long story short, the dorado got owned...both are around 7 inches...guess ima have to get rid of one of them...but for now i want to know if there is any way to speed up the healing process...it has some minor cuts but one of the cuts is pretty brutal...its still eating and swimming fine and acting normal...i added salt and raised the temp to 84....

salt and raised temp is good, you can put some stress coat to. You'll be suprised how much fish can actually take, and survive. Main thing is to either seperate them, or get a divider. Another attack might not be as easly healed from

I have had one messed up much worse than that by a much larger Jag. before long it will look brand new. They recover very quickly.

Well the only one thats actually givin attitude is the dorado...everyone else surprisingly is peaceful....the jar is scared of the wolf and so is the dorado now...but the wolf never strikes first only defends itself....so all of them are in check.

I have found its always the Dorado's that start the trouble. They do seem to be highly strung. While they are small this gets them into trouble. Hence mine at about 5" trying to take on a 10" Jaguar Cichlid.

Haha yea they try to challenge any other fish despite its size!!!They love to fight!
have alway said it a wolf will own any fish that tries it on with it even a snake head, an attack from below and the other fish aint got a chance and the speed of the strike is soo quick it will not give the other fish a chance. I will never trust a wolf fish with any other fish, may be ok for months years then suddenly you start to see damage to the other fish and then its too late.
