Should heal up fine. But if you have him in with another cichlid, it will just get messed up again. Flowerhorn dont want to do anything but fight tankmates generally

ooh thats a tough and most likely costly loss. was the mota smaller? my issue was pretty comical because the red devil is much larger and rorschach (the flowerhorn) was the one constantly jumping and breaking the divider.

Yea the mota was quite a bit smaller. Around the same length. It was pretty quick too. Like 4 hours while i was out of the house. Came home and the dat was just about scaleless on the bottom of the tank. Poor dude hung in there for like 3 more days before finally dieing. If i was to do it over, i would have euthanized on day 1.
