Dovii beat up?

[LBDave]

I have not but I keep this on hand for when any of my fish get severely beaten up.....from the makers of Prazi Pro.

Interesting. I see it requires direct application. Not extremely easy to find online....I may pick some up for my fish first aid kit.
Also BTW, I no longer use API stress coat as it gums up the filter. Thus the move to stress guard, which seems to work much better anyway.

The wounds look the same but on a positive note his behavior is back to normal. Eating and showing aggression.

Eating is #1 IMHO in regards to fish recuperation. Very good news.

Yes,you'd have to net the fish out and apply the med directly into the wound with a swab.

What he said!

Stressguard is good stuff. I'd keep using it until the wound closes it to ward off infection. That and really clean water.

It's great that he's eating... that's a very positive sign.

Step up your water changes. Make sure there is no organic matter decaying around him. Focus gravel vac On area where he tends to hang out the most. From experience I really think infections normally are caused by decaying food and feces in the substrate. I bet he’ll be healed up in a couple weeks.

That may be fungus setting in. I would definitely do water changes and keep salt in there .

He's doing a ton better. WC and salt is working. Healing very nicely.
