HELP! VIEJA....

[JML1997]

My Vieja was recently attacked by a Red Devil/Midas and he has many open wounds on both sides of its body, they've since started to get "fuzzy" and It can't keep his body upright and is spinning upside down and all around.... I've been treating with Melafix for three days, and haven't noticed any inprovment... I've attached some pics in hope of recieving a response wondering if I'm doing all i can do or if theres more..

Put him down. Sorry.

Lesson: don't try to house other fish with RD/Midas without extreme caution.

Man, that sucks! That was a sweet syn. I would put him down too. Very unlikely he will make it. BUt if you want to try, put in hospital tank, 85 degrees, salt in the water. Good Luck.

He's about 10" and I pit him in a 40 breeder, the temp. Is at 80, should I raise it and treat it with salt and Melafix?

Do that. Don't overdose on Melafix like I did with my Oscars. And remember, TLC always helps.

I've treated with melafix 2 hours ago, should I raise the temp. Now and put salt in now?
