African Pike Emergency - He Jumped out, Still Alive!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
The stress coat should help..otherwise just wait it out. Unfortunately if they start 'drying' their kidneys can shut down, they can get some brain damage..so if the injuries aren't too severe, he should make it but might be a little weird.
 
you never know.
i hope he does make it because he seems like a beautiful fish
just don't do any water changes or anything, that will stress him out.
by the pictures he looks like a probably would make it.
Keep us posted
 
If im not mistaken it is the medicine that is used for ich, You should be able to pick it up at any lfs

Not for ich, for basic bacterial/fungal issues but it has an added benefit of increasing oxygen available to the fish that's too complicated for me to remember off hand. The only thing is it will totally wipe out your biofilter, so you'll have to cycle again. For this reason, I'd recommend it as a bath outside the display tank. However, unless the fish is in extreme distress at the moment, I'd probably just leave him alone and increase O2 levels in the water.
 
Yeah. The nasty brown liquid that I can't stand.
I am actually looking at it now, i cant find it on the label. If I'm not mistaken the other stuff is the ich medicine that turns your water blue. I know when you use it you should put him in a hospital tank and not run any carbon in the filter. the **** also stains anything it touches blue. I remember I got a fish as a gift that ended up having ich and i had blue fingers for days after the stuff spilled on me...lol
