Melafix is suppose to make fish heal wounds fasters as well as being a anti bacterial. Give it a try. Its organic too.

I noticed my ck had a wound on the bottom of his throat, about an inch or so back from his mouth. There is an actual piece of flesh protruding, just a small one; maybe the size of a pencil eraser. I don't know how that happened; the other guys don't pick on him and he has no other bite marks. I am think of adding some salt and some aloe vera to help with the healing...any other thoughts??
