Farewell to Malabaricus

[Mudfrog]

That probably means something about the water your putting in isn't right. Could be the temp or anything. What are you using for a dechlorinater?

i love glass bumpers i think that was one reason i bought wolf fish. but i get very scared when he jumps and hurt himself at night(and then lose its whole lip), i always jump up from the bed.
imma go take a picure to show ya

Everytime when i do a water change, he will jump that night.
Today i did a 25% water change, i am so scare to sleep tonight.

Yikes add some salt or Melafix to get that healed up then either add some kind of floating plants or lower the water level an inch or two

Temperature is right, and i used stress coat for dechlorinator.. Sometimes i just wait a while for chlorine to evaporate. I have never used Melafix, and i heard that salt is not good for fishes, so i stop adding salts. Perhaps, adding salt to injured skin will be very painful.

there is one thing that is absolutely certain. The salt method is the right coarse of action. Look up the correct method but don't delay otherwise you will be saying farewell to your mala for the wrong reasons. They are generally incredibly Hardy but in the same way humans are susceptible to infection, so are fish.

exactly what is the temperature?
chlorine doesnt "evaporate" from the water does it???
youre sure the stress coat gets rid of chlorine?
and no,salt is GOOD.
its the best method for healing.

I thought stress coat + was best for healing. I did add 3 and half rounds spoons of aquarium salt into the water after reading mynheers' post. Hiding under the internal filter might be the problem that caused mala jump, so i just came from my lfs and bought a piece of drift wood. There are no big driftwoods and all of them are quite expensive, so i picked the best one among them. One that is actually hideable, but it seems too short. Is bogwood better than driftwood for wolf fish? I dunno whats the best decor for wolf fish.

Chlorine will evaporate over time, that or dilute, can't remember. But no I don't think stress coat is a dechlorinator.

Bogwood is driftwood, just different names.

Pick up some PRIME from Petsmart and use that instead.

prime? what is that? well stress coat 5ml per gallon to kill chlorine and 10ml per gallon for injury recovery

no,red wolves need a 40g minimum.
they are active fish that get to 8 inches.
rarely more.
i know what you mean,it took me 2 years to get my parents to allow me to have a 4x2x2...

lol ive been working on the rents for 6 months for a 125

and prime is simply a more concentrated version of stresscoat
