melafix is supposed to cure these open wounds. i dosed my tank just now cause this one fish i got yesterday had some cut on it.
let's just say after 20 minutes everything in the tank looked like they were about to die. they were gasping, scratching on the gravel, trying to jump outta the water. it was the most insane thing i've ever seen my fish do when applying medication - it was like they were dosed with acid or something.
i couldn't take it anymore and did an emergency 66% water change. everything seems to have calmed down a bit, but man... if my fish die because of this i'm gonna be really mad.

Strange, I usually use it when I come home with an injured fish, or a injury as a result of transporting it and never has this happened. I combine it with Pimafix just to treat a broader spectrum of injuries/scrapes.scratches etc.
