whats up guys, I need a lil help.. I just got this dat in a couple weeks ago and was keeping him and an endli in a 55gl to powerfeed for a while before going into my 220gl. A few days ago I noticed this injury on one of his pelvic fins, I think during the nightly goldfish hunts the endli mistakenly took a bite of tis guys fin. At first I was just treating with adding salt and raising the temp but didn't like how the wound had white growth on it so I decided to use meds. Now we're on our fourth of seven days maracyn treatment and I just wanna check if you all think its healing up properly20140329_155803[1].jpg20140329_155755[1].jpg20140329_155941[1].jpg20140329_160513[1].jpg20140329_161531[1].jpg20140329_161537[1].jpg

bump. starting to question if im even treating for the right thing. have you guys ever seen a bite wound look this gnarly?
 
Post water parameters and I'll suggest a med to try.
 
Embarrassed to say but I never was one to test water params. I've always just judged by the actions of the fish.

No need to be embarrassed a lot of people don’t test the water all the time. I don’t test my water all the time. After a while you just get on a schedule and know what works. I test every once in a while to make sure everything is ok.

Try API triple sulfa. If you have some Meth blue you could put a drop directly on the area too.
