3rd day enjoying new tank

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
No the azul is completely peaceful in there. Doesn't even go after the xingu or the broko. Eyes the little Tigrinus I have in there sometimes though and goes all dark, but ya he's very peaceful. All 3 bass are wild caught, I'm power feeding minnows to get them big enough to go in the big tank, but I'm getting annoyed with running to the pet store so often so soon I'm gonna switch them over. May get a sao Francisco kelberi to add into there too but it's a bit smaller so I'm thinking hard on it. The broko is the meanie in there, here's a pic of the xingu lip, do you guys think this will ever heal properly? I only give them a couple hours of light a day to reduce stress and the broko chasing. Sorry for the bad cell pic, as you can see its quite swollen though, think it started out as a bite from the broko during feeding. And just got worse as he ran into the glass daily. I got a 20 gallon I could quarantine him but I REALLY would rather him be okay with these guys instead of moving him back and forth so the broko would have to get used to him again.

i dont see how i would lose it, its still growing, eating, and gaining coloration, but i am just concerned with how to properly heal that lip so it doesnt grow like that permamently. i guess if it keeps getting worse its little body may not be able to handle it and it could effect its eating. looking at it last night it looked really bad. today is day 3 of mela/pimafix treatment, if by the end of the treatment and keeping em in the dark for a bit doesnt heal it more than 50% ill set up the stupid 20 gallon and keep him in there again i guess, really really didnt wanna do that.
 
Do you have or can you take a clearer pic so we can see whats up? Adding some salt in a hospital tank would help that heal faster as well.. :)
 
Added salt to the tank already, I always do with my tanks. He's really shy but here is another pic. Looks no worse today, and maybe even a tad better, but definitely no worse. ImageUploadedByMonsterAquariaNetwork1350073529.246588.jpg
