I just thought i would share this cause i was surprised at how well it worked... but my Nimbochromis fuscotaeniatus got stuck a few days ago after chasing an m. auratus through some really tight spots. he could not get out, and when we found him he had split his tail fin and pulled the scales off on one side and his head... and was still stuck

we had to remove him by hand and after that he would just swim in one spot and would not eat at all. almost a whole week went by without eating, and last night we heard about the miracle of melafix on the forums so we made a run to the "hospital" aka 24hour wallie-world and picked up a bottle and added half the recommended dose

he is eating like crazy this morning... i dont know if the melafix really did help or not... but i will take it and def add it to my fish first aid kit:thumbsup:
