We should start a thread focusing on ammonia burns, causes, treatments, after affect, symptoms, cures, etc.. I may have missed a thread if there is one on this subject and tried looking for more info on the subject but cant seem to find something with good facts and not bored out of my mind cause it keeps going on and on about other things and I gotta try to skim through to find facts.
 
There really doesn't need to be one. For the most part, you simply provide clean water and watch for infections. If an infection sets in after that, it's no longer an ammonia issue and can be dealt with as an infection. The burns will heal on their own, the gills will be forever scarred and the fish will die much younger than it should have.
