GT Severely Beat Up

[mcmemily]

So yesterday I bought a new Green Terror (4.5") from a lfs and he was in a 20gallon tank with 6" J Dempseys that were beating the @#*% out of him - he was terrified in the corner of the tank with his fins severely nipped all along his top fin and his tail fin (both to the body). He looks aweful. So we put him in our 150 with our snook and severum. He's doing great...swimming (or trying to swim around the best he can ) like crazy. The other fish pretty much just chase him out of territory - they're not aggressive towards him.

So I've raised the temp a bit and added more salt. Is there anything else I can do...like vitamins, etc. (prefereably not meds) that can help his fins grow back faster?

it would be beter to just buy a little 10 gallon for him because he will probably die from strees eventually!!

but anyway good luck man

He really doesn't seem stressed at all. He's swimming around...just cruizing...
Come on....positivity please!!!

not sure about salt and temp but you could pick up some melafix and some slime for him.GL hope he recovers

Salt temp melafix and a 10gal all seem good. My Gt got the crap kicked out of him by my myan moved him to another tank and hes doing just fine.

He seems great so far...I'm going to leave him in my big tank. Nobody is nipping him, and I'm afraid just trying to catch him will bring on more stress. He seems like a trooper...he's rockin' his new tank even though it looks like he has a spiked mohawk.

I have had awful experience with melafix before...any other remedies?
