I've got two NTT that look like they've taken a good beating. I've separated them from the other datnoids. Before this they were laying flat on their sides and I thought this was just a way of hiding from the other NTT as my NGT used to do this.

Anyways, I've moved them to a quarantine tank but they're still on their sides and not eating krill. I'm thinking of throwing a few feeders in tomorrow but I don't think they'll make it. Should I throw in some melafix!? What should I do?! I'm not sure if its just beating from the other datnoids but they have bite marks on the their bodies and their fins are all torn...
 
I've had my indo take a beating...but broke it up in time...you can tell the difference when you think they're gonna make it or not! If you have hope toss them in a separate tank...Bump temp and a good amount of salt, no lights and some nice hiding spots. gl bro! I hope they get better.
 
Same happened to mine. Both were 3 inch, after getting attacked, they soon started breathing heavy and got gill flukes. I used kazuri wormer plus, which I thought helped, but it was too late an 2 weeks later: dead.
U done right thing to move to qt tank.just keep doing wc.
 
Thanks for the advice guys. One looks to be doing better but the other is still on its side a lot.
