jag bleeding

[rallysman]

we are in the process of doing a water change and the Jag decided the Python tube has no place in the tank....he attacked it and blood started coming out of his gills....I've never seen this before. Is it a defence mechanism, because it stopped less than a minute after it started but it was coming out pretty thick......

Is there anything that I should do as a precaution????
thanks for your help everyone, I hope he is ok

How is he now? cant say how much blood they have total, but it sounds like he did cut himself somewhere....in his mouth? kinda like a fish on a hook amount of blood? Cant say any blood for anything is a good thing
Good luck

I would salt the tank

Agreed, salt the tank since your doing H2O change already.

gills are a very delicate part on a fishes body

i read that even taknig them out of water for too long can damage them

he probably decided to be a hard ass and landed the python the wrong way

I hope it's not the one in the great picture.

to be honest i wouldnt worry

when steve(89)'s aro jumped out of its tank he put it back and it was bleeding from the gills.

but today its all healed and more ]V[ONSTER than EVER!!

yea, thats my only Jag...


he is acting 100% normal, and the bleeding was only for a short time but scared the hell out of me lol...

I'll add some salt like Steve said just to be safe.
