the pearsei got so stressed hi hurt hinmself he has a couple verry small peses of skin pealing off he is not doing well help i left him alone help help !!!!
 
Is there any flesh wounds or is just scales peeling off?Have you done at least a 20% water change yesterday and added aquarium salt?I would highly recommend some API stress coat+ too, since it actually helps out with wounds and stress.
 
he is 7 inches in a 65 gallon tank i will give you pics after church i am so scared he will die well it is not too bad
 
oh i should add more salty i put salt in a day before the water change thanks for all the great advice evryboudyi think i know what i did wrong after the water change i removed all the tank decor and hiding spots stupid me
 
Just follow the advice from your other threads, buddy. Water changes, aeration, a little salt, lights out, and patience. You don't want to keep dumping multiple things in the water unless it is absolutely necessary. Maybe try to post a picture so that we can see exactly what you're dealing with. Remember, you can just add any new questions or concerns on one of your older threads on the subject. You don't have to keep making multiple threads on the same subject. I think you're up to at least three on this same situation. Post a pic.
 
I used bio bandage for one of mine when injured. I recommend this product. A sick Christmas fish is real bad luck, wish you luck. I feel that one needs to check aquarium basics, diagnose and then treat as fast as possible. No multiple meds are best avoided, but also if one waits too long say for the people on the internet to find a diagnoses, the fish may be too far gone to save.
