I've had this dovii for about 3 years now, ever since he was a fry, and two days ago I was cleaning the tank and he suddenly freaked out, like FREAKED THE HELL OUT! In the process, he tore open his side and now there's about an inch and a half gash on his side and his scales are all raised on that area. It looks like when you scale a fish and then there's a big gash in it. Well, now the area looks all raised and red and he won't eat and all he does now, is hide when I walk up to the tank. That same day he was injured I gave him Melafix, that's what the guy at my lfs told me to put in the tank, but it seems like its getting more red. So I'm turning to the pros at MFK's please help I don't wanna lose this guy, it's my prize fish that I've raised since a fry and now he's 16 inches. It'd be stupid to lose him now. Sorry for the life story, but please please help MFK's.
Thank You.
Thank You.
hope he heals up nicely
